Alderwoman Claudia Haydon - City of Horseshoe Bay, Texas

While working in Houston, Claudia met and married her husband of forty years, Craig. She retired in 1968 and began her long career as a stay at home mom and community volunteer.

Craig's career took them to many different cities before they settled in Austin. In 1998 they moved to Horseshoe Bay. They are members of St. Paul's Catholic Church.
