| H.R. No. 2101 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The 19 Fellows of the 2021 Moreno/Rangel Legislative | ||
| Leadership Program have ably served the citizens of Texas during | ||
| the 87th Legislative Session; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The program is sponsored by the Mexican American | ||
| Legislative Leadership Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan | ||
| 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 firsthand 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 2021, the program welcomed the largest class of | ||
| Fellows since its inception, including Tsion Amare Mengesha, Daniel | ||
| Arizpe, Yuri Barragán, Fabiola Barreto, Bianca Carrizal, Leonardo | ||
| Garcia, Rebecca Flores, Lyssette Galvan, Lorraine Garcia, | ||
| Jacqueline Gheorghe, Sandra Lopez, Melissa Medina, Andrea | ||
| Medina-Alvarado, Any Ojeda Alamilla, Andrea Orozco, Pedro Ortiz | ||
| Menchaca, Brandy Ann Pena, Ana Silbas, and Jacquelyne Valladares; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, During the session, these 19 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 2021 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 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commend the Fellows of the 2021 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 an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Fellows as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
