1 | 1 | | SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 50 |
---|
2 | 2 | | WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to pay |
---|
3 | 3 | | tribute to one of its youngest yet most distinguished members, |
---|
4 | 4 | | Senator José Menéndez, who on this special day waves goodbye to |
---|
5 | 5 | | the glorious forties and slips discreetly over the hill into the |
---|
6 | 6 | | fabulous fifties; and |
---|
7 | 7 | | WHEREAS, The son of immigrants from Mexico and Cuba, José |
---|
8 | 8 | | Menéndez was born in San Juan, Texas, and raised on San Antonio's |
---|
9 | 9 | | Westside; he graduated from Central Catholic High School and |
---|
10 | 10 | | earned a degree from Southern Methodist University; and |
---|
11 | 11 | | WHEREAS, He committed himself to public service at an early |
---|
12 | 12 | | age, and when he joined the Senate in 2015, he had already served |
---|
13 | 13 | | in the Texas House of Representatives for 15 years; in the House, |
---|
14 | 14 | | he represented his Bexar County constituency with loyalty and |
---|
15 | 15 | | dedication, and he has continued to do so as an esteemed member of |
---|
16 | 16 | | the Senate; and |
---|
17 | 17 | | WHEREAS, José Menéndez is a devoted family man and the |
---|
18 | 18 | | proud father of three children, Dominic, Victoria, and Austin; he |
---|
19 | 19 | | has been married to his beloved wife and best friend, Cehlia |
---|
20 | 20 | | Newman-Menéndez, since 1995; and |
---|
21 | 21 | | WHEREAS, The members of his Senate family are grateful for |
---|
22 | 22 | | the opportunity to pay tribute to him on this special birthday, |
---|
23 | 23 | | even as they can imagine that he might prefer to be celebrating |
---|
24 | 24 | | this milestone elsewhere and, quite possibly, in the company of |
---|
25 | 25 | | others; now, therefore, be it |
---|
26 | 26 | | RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas hereby |
---|
27 | 27 | | pause in its deliberations to extend warmest birthday greetings |
---|
28 | 28 | | and best wishes to Senator José Menéndez; and, be it further |
---|
29 | 29 | | RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
---|
30 | 30 | | him as an expression of sincerest friendship and esteem from his |
---|
31 | 31 | | fellow senators. |
