SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 797
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Aida Ramirez, who is stepping down as the District 4 |
|
|
commissioner of the City of McAllen after 18 years of exemplary |
|
|
service; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, A trailblazing civic leader, Aida Ramirez was the |
|
|
first Hispanic woman to be elected to the McAllen City |
|
|
Commission; she won her seat as the District 4 commissioner in a |
|
|
2001 special election, and she has since faithfully served the |
|
|
residents of southwest McAllen; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Aida is known for her extensive knowledge of |
|
|
McAllen history; her expertise has been invaluable to policy |
|
|
making, and she has often been tasked with leading commission |
|
|
meetings when the mayor has been unable to attend; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Aida Ramirez is devoted to her community, and for |
|
|
nearly two decades, she has been a trusted voice for the citizens |
|
|
of southwest McAllen; she is respected and admired by her |
|
|
colleagues and area citizens, and her presence on the commission |
|
|
will be greatly missed; now, therefore, be it |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Aida Ramirez for her outstanding |
|
|
civic leadership as McAllen's District 4 commissioner and extend |
|
|
to her best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
her as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
