WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Aida Ramirez, who is stepping down as the District 4 | ||
commissioner of the City of McAllen after 18 years of exemplary | ||
service; and | ||
WHEREAS, A trailblazing civic leader, Aida Ramirez was the | ||
first Hispanic woman to be elected to the McAllen City | ||
Commission; she won her seat as the District 4 commissioner in a | ||
2001 special election, and she has since faithfully served the | ||
residents of southwest McAllen; and | ||
WHEREAS, Aida is known for her extensive knowledge of | ||
McAllen history; her expertise has been invaluable to policy | ||
making, and she has often been tasked with leading commission | ||
meetings when the mayor has been unable to attend; and | ||
WHEREAS, Aida Ramirez is devoted to her community, and for | ||
nearly two decades, she has been a trusted voice for the citizens | ||
of southwest McAllen; she is respected and admired by her | ||
colleagues and area citizens, and her presence on the commission | ||
will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Aida Ramirez for her outstanding | ||
civic leadership as McAllen's District 4 commissioner and extend | ||
to her best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
