SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 283
WHEREAS, Sherman County and District Clerk Laura Rogers
played a critical role in saving the life of a fellow citizen at
the State Capitol on May 29, 2024; and
WHEREAS, Ms. Rogers, a former paramedic, was attending a
Texas Senate hearing on the day of the incident when she noticed a
man experiencing a health emergency; after helping to move the
man to the floor, she began a medical assessment and determined
that he had a faint pulse; she then initiated CPR and requested an
automated external defibrillator, which she subsequently used
three times; and
WHEREAS, Upon the arrival of EMS personnel, Ms. Rogers
provided them with essential information, and the man was taken
to a nearby hospital for further treatment; ultimately, he was
able to make a full recovery; and
WHEREAS, Through her skill and quick thinking, Laura
Rogers helped to avert a potential tragedy, and she is truly
deserving of special recognition for her outstanding efforts;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
Legislature, hereby commend Laura Rogers for her lifesaving
actions on May 29, 2024, and extend to her sincere best wishes for
the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for Ms. Rogers as an expression of high regard from the
Texas Senate.
