WHEREAS, Christopher "Chip" Haass was recently elected to the San Antonio City Council to represent the constituents of District 10, and his many outstanding contributions to the Bexar County community are indeed deserving of special commendation; and WHEREAS, This outstanding young Texan, at the age of 25, is the youngest council member elected in recent San Antonio history, and his achievement is all the more remarkable because he had never before run for public office; Councilman Haass was raised in the neighborhood he now represents and was educated at St. Mary's Hall, having shown early promise for his chosen vocation when he joined the debate team; a talented teacher at an Alamo City high school, he is a role model and an inspiration for every young Texan who seeks to transform the world through politics and community activism; and WHEREAS, In taking on the challenges of municipal public service, Councilman Haass has joined the proud tradition of citizen leadership that has been our nation's hallmark for more than two centuries, and he can take justifiable pride in the role he is playing in this noble legacy; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate Christopher "Chip" Haass on his election to the District 10 seat on the San Antonio City Council and extend to him best wishes for continued success and happiness in his future endeavors; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Councilman Haass as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
