  H.R. No. 2221
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         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.
