H.R. No. 242
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Martin Lujan admirably performs his duties as chief
of staff of the office of State Representative Pete Gallego, and he
is to be commended for his commitment to excellence in this
demanding role; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Lujan joined Representative Gallego's staff
prior to the commencement of the 78th Legislative Session, and his
talents and abilities soon gained him the position of chief of
staff; he previously served as a staff member of the Office of the
Chief Clerk during the 77th Legislative Session and as a
legislative policy analyst for the Mexican American Legislative
Caucus, and he has also worked for the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality; and
WHEREAS, Born in San Carlos, Mexico, Mr. Lujan came to the
United States as a child and worked hard to learn English and excel
in school; when his family returned to Mexico, the precocious
seven-year-old refused to return with them, preferring to stay in
Texas and get an education; and
WHEREAS, A graduate of Alpine High School and the first
member of his family to earn a high school diploma, Mr. Lujan served
in the U.S. Navy for seven years before beginning pursuit of his
longtime goal of attaining higher education; during his tenure in
the navy, this exceptional individual gained and maintained
numerous leadership positions, consistently demonstrating a
maturity beyond his years; and
WHEREAS, Despite obstacles in his path toward success, Martin
Lujan has displayed admirable perseverance in all his endeavors,
and his tenure as chief of staff for the Honorable Pete Gallego
represents yet another significant achievement in the life of this
remarkable gentleman; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby honor Martin Lujan for his
service as chief of staff of the office of State Representative Pete
Gallego and recognize him for his hard work in behalf of the
constituents of House District 74 and all the citizens of Texas;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Lujan as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
