WHEREAS, During the 82nd Legislative Session, Evan Grady |
|
|
Stewart has ably served the State of Texas as a staff member in the |
|
|
office of Representative Raul Torres; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Stewart was born in Pineville, Louisiana, on |
|
|
June 14, 1985, and attended high school in Buckeye, Louisiana, |
|
|
where he excelled in athletics as well as academics; after |
|
|
graduating at the top of his class, he attended Louisiana State |
|
|
University on a TOPS scholarship; his rewarding experience working |
|
|
on Bobby Jindal's successful campaign for governor in 2007 led him |
|
|
to change his focus from international trade and finance to |
|
|
government, and he went on to work as an aide to the governor's |
|
|
executive counsel, Jimmy Faircloth; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 2009, Mr. Faircloth asked Mr. Stewart to manage |
|
|
his campaign for the Louisiana Supreme Court; Mr. Stewart was |
|
|
responsible for fund-raising, grassroots development, scheduling, |
|
|
and general campaign strategy across a 20-parish district; before |
|
|
joining the staff of Representative Torres, Mr. Stewart also worked |
|
|
for Louisiana senator David Vitter; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Evan Stewart has demonstrated a deep commitment to |
|
|
public service while ably performing his duties, and his |
|
|
exceptional contributions indeed merit special recognition; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Evan Grady Stewart for his service in |
|
|
the office of State Representative Raul Torres and extend to him |
|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Stewart as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
