AUSTIN – Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows announced the committee assignments for each House member for the 89th Texas Legislature. Representative Erin Elizabeth Gámez was named as Vice-Chair of the House Committee on General Investigating. She was also reappointed to serve on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Transportation. Rep. Gámez released the following statement:
"It is an honor to be appointed Vice-Chair of the House Committee on General Investigating and to continue serving on the House Committees on Natural Resources and Transportation. I would like to thank Speaker Burrows for these opportunities to serve.
I am humbled to be appointed as Vice-Chair of the House Committee on General Investigating. I will work to ensure accountability and transparency in state government by overseeing investigations into public issues, and protecting the integrity of our Legislature.
The House Committee on Natural Resources oversees water issues in the state of Texas, which are of critical importance to the Valley. I am excited to work with my colleagues to address the dire need for additional water resources required to continue industry and life in the Valley.
I am also thrilled to be reappointed to the House Committee on Transportation. I look forward to continuing to build on the momentum of last session, where we secured funding to deepen the Port of Brownsville, improve the I-69E corridor, and build the 2nd causeway to South Padre Island. I will ensure that Brownsville’s connection to Texas and the world continues to flourish.”

Demos are useless/powerless/fruitless in the Republican- controlled Texas Legislature. Fact.
This is not a very important appointment at all . No big deal.
Inspector Clouseau would do better or any local clueless inspectors here... whatawaste!!!
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Melania Trump has determined that the Valentine’s Day card she received on Friday could not possibly be from her husband because her name was spelled correctly, the First Lady has confirmed.
“If it spelled ‘Melanie,’ ‘Melanin,’ or ‘Malala,’ then I’d know it from him,” she said.
“It was signed ‘the President,’” she continued. “So I guess it from Elon.”
“I wish Justin Trudeau send me card one day,” she added wistfully. “That be best.”
I hope someone gets a good laugh. I know I did.
You are 100% correct. Just like Washington DC. This is what winning looks like.
It was from browntown current mayor, el pendejo had sent it to his camote elong but was mistakenly delivered to Melamamaia.
No trae nada en el moral
When will they stop visas from poor countries? When will they change the law to stop asylum seekers? When will they stop birth citizenship? When do they start working...the Congress people etc? They have to hurry up.
Representative Gamez claims she is going to work to ensure accountability and transparency in state government. I thought she was a democrat.
You are one innocent MOFO if you think the Republicans are Lily white.
Good leaders are born,
She was born to be a good leader.
God Bless her.
Representative Gamez has always seemed ethical and sincerely concerned about her community and accountability - being a good public steward isn't easy. Just sad that not all her family can say the same - guess that's true for most of us.
Good luck to her cuz its gonna be a lot of pressure to go with the crowd and not stick to whats right.
I use leader to catch fish, batsells used to sell them now you can't find them NOWHERE. I may give it a try
