RE: State Rep. John V. Garza (photo) elected “Freshman of the Year” by Hispanic Republican Conference
The Hispanic Republican Conference (HRC) of the Texas Legislature has named John V. Garza “Freshman Legislator of the Year.” The Hispanic Republican Conference consists of 32 Representatives (17 of whom are freshmen) who are either of Hispanic descent or represent districts with over 30% Hispanic population.
The Hispanic Republican Conference of the Texas Legislature was organized in 2011 by six Hispanic Representatives (Garza, L. Gonzales, Torres, Aliseda, Margo and Peña). The 82nd Legislature was the first with a sizable number of Hispanic Republican members.
The election and announcement were made at the Hispanic Republican Conference Sine Die (End of Session) Dinner on Thursday May 27th. Guest speakers included Speaker Joe Strauss and Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson.
"Representative Garza is an outstanding Representative and an even greater advocate for the issues important to his community. It is fitting for him to win this award, and I congratulate him for being the first freshman of the year recognized by our organization," said State Rep. Aaron Peña, Hispanic Republican Conference Chairman.
“I congratulate Rep. John Garza on being chosen Freshman of the Year by the Hispanic Republican Conference," Speaker Straus said. "He has served the Texas House well by showing a true dedication to his constituents and a passion for leadership within the Hispanic community.”
