By: Anchia | H.R. No. 2221 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The 16 fellows of the 2019 Moreno/Rangel Legislative | ||
Leadership Program have ably served their fellow Texans during the | ||
86th Legislative Session; and | ||
WHEREAS, The program is sponsored by the Mexican American | ||
Legislative Leadership Foundation, a non-profit, non-partisan | ||
organization established by the Mexican American Legislative | ||
Caucus to foster the development of leadership skills among Latino | ||
youth; in 2003, the foundation launched its fellowship to offer | ||
outstanding undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to | ||
gain first-hand experience in the functions and operations of the | ||
Texas House of Representatives during a legislative session; it is | ||
named in honor of the late Paul C. Moreno, the longest-serving | ||
Hispanic member of the House, and the late Irma Rangel, the first | ||
Mexican American woman to serve in the Texas Legislature; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2019, the program welcomed the largest class of | ||
fellows since its inception, including LaRessa Quintana, Nicolas | ||
Cruz, Stephanie Zuniga, Elliot Ross, Sarah Gonzalez Claytor, | ||
Chelsea Rangel, Keila Martinez, Sofia Morales Moreno, Hypatia | ||
Sorunke, Karla Peredo, Azhalia Leal, Zachary Cochran, Maria Nereida | ||
Jaimes, Tannya Oliva, Alejandrina Guzman, and Adriana Aguirre | ||
Hernandez; and | ||
WHEREAS, During the session, these 16 talented students | ||
worked alongside veteran staff on policy matters in the offices of | ||
representatives, and they participated in weekly seminars where | ||
they interacted with Latino leaders, elected officials, and state | ||
agency personnel; their challenging responsibilities helped them | ||
learn more about the legislative process and the issues facing | ||
citizens of the Lone Star State; moreover, they gained valuable | ||
insights into the nature of public service and the many ways in | ||
which they can contribute to their communities; and | ||
WHEREAS, The fellows of the 2019 Moreno/Rangel Legislative | ||
Leadership Program performed their duties as policy aides with | ||
skill and dedication, and they are indeed deserving of special | ||
recognition for their fine work; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commend the fellows of the 2019 Moreno/Rangel | ||
Legislative Leadership Program for their exceptional efforts and | ||
extend to them sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared | ||
for the fellows as an expression of high regard by the Texas House | ||
of Representatives. |
