Ms. Hidalgo has worked for the Texas Civil Rights Project, and she | ||
has served as a Spanish-English medical interpreter at the Texas | ||
Medical Center; she traveled to Southeast Asia to advocate for | ||
transparency and accountability, and in recent years, she has | ||
coordinated with various advocacy groups and local governments to | ||
push for criminal justice reform; and | ||
WHEREAS, Each day, public servants improve the quality of | ||
life for their fellow citizens in innumerable ways, and the efforts | ||
