|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The members of the eighth class of Governor William | ||
| P. Clements Jr. Scholars have distinguished themselves through | ||
| their commitment to public service and public policy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, These young men and women are participating in the | ||
| Clements Legislative Study Program, which is hosted by the Texas | ||
| Conservative Coalition Research Institute; this exemplary program | ||
| seeks to train, support, and sustain the next generation of leaders | ||
| and public servants, instilling in them the values and work ethic of | ||
| former governor William P. Clements Jr.; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Governor Clements overcame the misfortunes that | ||
| befell his family during the Great Depression to create the world's | ||
| largest offshore drilling company; he won an upset victory to | ||
| become the state's first Republican governor since Reconstruction, | ||
| bringing his business acumen to state government and focusing on | ||
| such issues as sound budgeting, crime prevention, and economic | ||
| diversification; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Clements Legislative Study Program is the only | ||
| program of its kind to bring conservative students to Austin so that | ||
| they may gain valuable experience in leadership and public service | ||
| by working directly with members of the Texas Legislature; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Scholars who have previously completed the Clements | ||
| Legislative Study Program now work in a variety of positions in and | ||
| around the Texas Legislature, including in the Texas House and | ||
| Senate, state agencies, political campaigns, policy research | ||
| institutions, and media organizations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The program's eighth class consists of Olivia | ||
| Alexander, Morghan Armenta, Sydney Baker, Cameron Castillo, | ||
| Mika'ele Castro, Mary Grace Davidson, Bailey Halbert, Noah Huerta, | ||
| Jacquelyn Pillow, Zane Prince, Leah Shepherd, Trinity Smith, | ||
| Madeline Tillman, and Romana Vargas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By taking part in this special program, the members | ||
| of Governor William P. Clements Jr. Scholars are furthering their | ||
| understanding of civics, government, and history, and the knowledge | ||
| and skills they learn from their time at the Texas Capitol will | ||
| serve them well in the years ahead; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commend the members of the eighth class of | ||
| Governor William P. Clements Jr. Scholars for their dedication to | ||
| public policy and for their service to their state and nation and | ||
| extend to them sincere best wishes for success in all their future | ||
| endeavors; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the class as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
| Noble | ||
