End of Session Notes
By Byron LaMasters
State Rep. Aaron Pena (D) has some end of session notes over at his blog.
Of interest...
- Pena predicts that a special session will be called near the end of June.
- The Mexican-American Legislative Caucus picked Veronica Gonzalez and Rafael Anchia Freshmen of the Year.
- The Democratic Caucus picked Yvonne Gonzalez-Tourilles and Marc Veasey for Freshmen of the Year.
- The Legislative Study Group picked Hubert Vo their Freshman of the Year.
- Melissa Noriega was given the "Joe Moreno Award" by the Democratic Caucus.
- Rep. Rafael Anchia honored the late Rep. Joe Moreno by wearing a Houston Rockets jersey on the floor of the House.
In other news, via email, the Texas Legislative Black Caucus elected new officers:
Chair -- Representative Senfronia Thompson, Houston
1st Vice Chair -- Representative Terri Hodge, Dallas
2nd Vice Chair -- Representative Ruth Jones McClendon, San Antonio
Treasurer -- Representative Marc Veasey, Fort Worth
Secretary -- Representative Dawnna Dukes, Austin
Parliamentarian -- Representative Jesse Jones, Dallas
Legal Council -- Representative Joe Deshotel, Beaumont
No DINO's on this list... A special thanks for the leadership of the outgoing chair Garnet Coleman, and he certainly leaves the caucus in good hands with Senfronia Thompson.
