SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 800
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.
Hinojosa, Lucio
