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

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.
