|
||
| WHEREAS, Oscar Leeser was reelected as mayor of El Paso in | ||
| December 2020; and | ||
| WHEREAS, First elected in 2013, Mayor Leeser served for one | ||
| term before retreating from public life for a time to address health | ||
| issues; he ran again in 2020 on support for small businesses and a | ||
| record that includes the El Paso First policy, which gives extra | ||
| points to local companies that bid on municipal projects, allowing | ||
| them to develop more competitive bids; in addition, during his | ||
| first term, he incentivized the hiring of veterans; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Oscar Leeser is the son of Arthur and Rhoberta | ||
| Leeser; he was nine years old and spoke not a word of English when | ||
| his family moved to El Paso from Chihuahua, Mexico; hard-working | ||
| and resourceful, he washed cars, mowed lawns, and, as a teenager, | ||
| worked as a janitor; in 1979, he joined the automotive industry, and | ||
| with his entrepreneurial spirit he rose to become president of | ||
| Hyundai of El Paso; dedicated to the community, he has served on the | ||
| boards of the El Paso Police Foundation and the University Medical | ||
| Center of El Paso, among other leadership roles; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Each day, public servants improve the quality of | ||
| life for their fellow citizens in innumerable ways, and the | ||
| continuing efforts of Mayor Leeser will help to make El Paso an even | ||
| better place in which to live and work; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Oscar Leeser on his reelection as | ||
| mayor of El Paso and extend to him sincere best wishes for a | ||
| successful tenure; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mayor Leeser as an expression of high regard by the | ||
