Senate Resolution No. 59 is a memorial resolution honoring the life and service of former United States Congressman Ron Wright, who passed away on February 7, 2021, at the age of 67. The resolution recounts Wright’s extensive contributions to the Tarrant County community, his various leadership roles, and his dedication to public service.

The resolution memorializes a figure who had a notable career and may serve to inspire continued engagement in issues he championed.
