MIDLAND, Texas Local officials in Midland and Odessa followed President Joe Biden s inauguration closely, and they heard his calls for unity. They believe that it was a good starting point in trying to bring people back together. I think what we saw today at the inauguration was a really good representation of what that should look like.
