She is also the founder and president of Unity Unlimited, a nonprofit devoted to education, unity and community engagement. In this interview, Sims discusses why she is running for Congress and what she believes Washington must do for the rural communities of District 25. The conversation covers access to health care and mental-health services, support for rural hospitals, infrastructure, education, small businesses and the pressures facing working families and older Texans. Sims also reflects on what she learned from her grandmother’s persistence and how the campaign for Juneteenth shaped her understanding of public service, coalition-building and lasting political change.

  Interview with D.R. Horton co-founder Terry Horton

  Aug 8, 202636 minS1

  In this interview recorded in December 2024, Olney Enterprise editor Gina Keating talks with D.R. Horton co-founder Terry Horton as he oversees construction of an innovative home on West Oak Street in Olney. The house was built with light-gauge steel framing and fire-resistant foam panels designed to create a stronger, safer, and more energy-efficient structure. According to Horton, the building system can withstand earthquakes exceeding magnitude 9.3. At the time of the interview, he was testing the construction method in Olney and discussing plans to build additional homes in the community. The conversation has taken on new relevance in 2026 as housing moves to the forefront of Olney’s concerns. The city is preparing for potential economic and population growth connected to the proposed data-center development, while a new developer-directed Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone begins work intended to encourage residential construction. Could Horton’s experiment offer one answer to Olney’s need for durable and attainable new housing? This interview looks back at a potentially important early step in the city’s effort to expand its housing supply.
