WHEREAS, During the 82nd Legislative Session, Alda Santana |
|
|
has ably served her fellow Texans as senior legislative assistant |
|
|
in the office of State Representative Eddie Rodriguez; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Santana joined the staff as a legislative aide |
|
|
and was quickly promoted to district director; two weeks later, she |
|
|
earned promotion again to senior legislative assistant; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A native of Puerto Rico, Ms. Santana holds a |
|
|
master's degree in social work from The University of Texas at |
|
|
Austin; she has brought considerable energy, intelligence, and |
|
|
expertise to her many responsibilities, helping Representative |
|
|
Rodriguez with legislation on such vital issues as public health, |
|
|
food safety, and animal welfare; she has been particularly |
|
|
passionate about protecting children from hazardous chemicals and |
|
|
working for passage of the "Cottage Food Bill"; and |

|
|
helped initiate an important new tradition in the office known as |
|
|
"Waffle Wednesday"; this dynamic young woman further distinguished |
|
|
herself with her affinity for red-haired Irishmen, though she will |
|
|
be hard pressed to find any of those in South America, where she |
|
|
hopes to journey in the fall; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Alda Santana has provided indispensible support |
|
|
throughout her tenure with the Texas House of Representatives, and |

behalf of House District 51; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Alda Santana for |
|
|
her service as senior legislative assistant in the office of State |
|
|
Representative Eddie Rodriguez and extend to her sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success in all her endeavors; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Santana as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
