         WHEREAS, Oscar Leeser was reelected as mayor of El Paso in
  December 2020; and
         WHEREAS, First elected in 2013, Mayor Leeser served for one
  term before retreating from public life for a time to address health
  issues; he ran again in 2020 on support for small businesses and a
  record that includes the El Paso First policy, which gives extra
  points to local companies that bid on municipal projects, allowing
  them to develop more competitive bids; in addition, during his
  first term, he incentivized the hiring of veterans; and
         WHEREAS, Oscar Leeser is the son of Arthur and Rhoberta
  Leeser; he was nine years old and spoke not a word of English when
  his family moved to El Paso from Chihuahua, Mexico; hard-working
  and resourceful, he washed cars, mowed lawns, and, as a teenager,
  worked as a janitor; in 1979, he joined the automotive industry, and
  with his entrepreneurial spirit he rose to become president of
  Hyundai of El Paso; dedicated to the community, he has served on the
  boards of the El Paso Police Foundation and the University Medical
  Center of El Paso, among other leadership roles; and
         WHEREAS, Each day, public servants improve the quality of
  life for their fellow citizens in innumerable ways, and the
  continuing efforts of Mayor Leeser will help to make El Paso an even
  better place in which to live and work; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate Oscar Leeser on his reelection as
  mayor of El Paso and extend to him sincere best wishes for a
  successful tenure; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mayor Leeser as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
