WHEREAS, The members of the fifth class of Governor William
P. Clements Jr. Scholars have distinguished themselves through
their commitment to public service and public policy; and
WHEREAS, These young Texans are participating in the Clements
Legislative Study Program, which is hosted by the Texas
Conservative Coalition Research Institute; this exemplary program
seeks to train, support, and sustain the next generation of leaders
and public servants, instilling in them the values and work ethic of
former governor William P. Clements Jr.; and
WHEREAS, Governor Clements overcame the misfortunes that
befell his family during the Great Depression to create the world's
largest offshore drilling company; he won an upset victory to
become the state's first Republican governor since Reconstruction,
bringing his business acumen to state government and focusing on
such issues as sound budgeting, crime prevention, and economic
diversification; and
WHEREAS, The Clements Legislative Study Program is the only
program of its kind to bring conservative students to Austin so that
they may gain valuable experience in leadership and public service
by working directly with members of the Texas Legislature; and
WHEREAS, The program's fifth class consists of Logan
Davidson, Gustav Gygi, Elizabeth Haynie, Daniel Manks, Ashton
Moore, Julia Reeves, Evan Reid, Kelly Robinson, Saurabh Sharma,
Abby Sinclair, Horace Tipton, and Madison Yandell; and
WHEREAS, By taking part in this special program, the members
of the fifth class of Governor William P. Clements Jr. Scholars are
furthering their understanding of civics, government, and history,
and the knowledge and skills they learn from their time at the Texas
Legislature will serve them well in the years ahead; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the Governor William P. Clements
Jr. Scholars for their dedication to public policy and for their
service to their state and nation and extend to them best wishes for
success in all their future endeavors; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
