Perry Fowler

Executive Director, Texas Water Infrastructure Network

Perry Fowler, Executive Director at Texas Water Infrastructure Network, is a 2026 Best in Government Affairs Texas honoree in the Association Champion of the Year category. The awards are peer-nominated.

Perry Fowler has built his career around one of Texas’s most critical challenges: ensuring the state’s water infrastructure keeps pace with its growth. As Executive Director of the Texas Water Infrastructure Network (TXWIN), he has become a respected and unifying voice in the complex world of infrastructure, construction, and public policy.

This past legislative session, Perry led his industry with the kind of professionalism and persistence that earns respect on both sides of the aisle. One nominator described him as having “helped usher some really important legislation through the process - doing it respectfully and like a pro.” That balance of policy depth and constructive engagement has become his trademark at the Capitol.

Under Perry’s leadership, TXWIN has helped shape major funding and reform initiatives, including the creation of the Texas Water Fund, a generational investment in the state’s future. His advocacy has strengthened collaboration between public agencies, contractors, and utilities.  He ensured that Texas communities have the infrastructure they need to thrive.

Beyond TXWIN, Perry also represents Texas811, advancing safe excavation and utility coordination statewide. With over two decades of experience, he’s widely recognized for turning technical issues into actionable, bipartisan policy solutions.

As one of this year’s Association Champions of the Year, Perry Fowler embodies credible, constructive advocacy;  bringing professionalism, integrity, and long-term vision to one of Texas’s most essential policy arenas.
