El Paso County honors state delegation for legislative accomplishments and community advocacy

In a recent meeting of the El Paso County Commissioners Court, a resolution was unanimously adopted to honor the El Paso State delegation for their exceptional service during the 89th legislative session. This recognition highlights the significant contributions made by local representatives, including State Senator Cesar J. Blanco and State Representatives Joe Moody, Mary Gonzalez, Eddie Morales, Claudia Ordaz, and Vincent M. Perez.

The resolution acknowledges the delegation's tireless efforts in securing over $180 million in state funding aimed at addressing critical needs in health, education, infrastructure, and cultural services for the El Paso community. Notably, these funds will enhance access to innovative cancer care and research, allowing families to receive essential medical treatment closer to home.

Commissioner Coronado emphasized the importance of the delegation's collaboration and unity, which has been pivotal in advocating for El Paso's interests at the state level. He noted that the delegation's work has not only strengthened local public health infrastructure but has also positioned El Paso as a leader in medical science.

The meeting also underscored the delegation's commitment to defending local control against legislative efforts that could undermine the authority of local governments. This dedication ensures that local leaders can effectively address the unique challenges faced by their communities.

The resolution was met with gratitude from the delegation members, who expressed their appreciation for the recognition and reaffirmed their commitment to the prosperity and future of El Paso County. The unanimous approval of this resolution reflects a strong community spirit and a shared vision for the region's growth and well-being.
