	from Stanford University, and pursued a joint degree in law and
	public policy from New York University and Harvard University; and
	WHEREAS, Dedicated to helping vulnerable communities,
	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
	of Lina Hidalgo will help to make Harris County an even better place
	in which to live and work; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Lina Hidalgo on her election as
