Sergio Munoz Research Paper

The Secretary of State is the chief elections officer, the protocol officer for state and international matters, and the liaison for the governor on Mexican and border matters. The Secretary carries out the President's foreign policies through the State Department and the Foreign Service of the United States. Currently, the Secratary of State is Rolando B. Pablos. Pablos is an American executive, attorney, and Republican politician who was born on 1967, in Mexico. He was graduated from Cathedral High School in El Paso. Then he graduated from St. Mary's University with a B.A. in Biology in 1992, Pablos also earned an M.B.A. from the University of Texas at San Antonio, a Master's in Hospitality Management from the Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston, and a Juris Doctor from St. Mary's University School of Law in 1998. Talking about his work experience, he served as Texas Public Utility Commissioner and then chairman of the Texas Racing Commission. He was also nominated to serve as Texas Secretary of State by Republican Governor Greg Abbott and confirmed by the Texas Senate on February 14, 2017. Pablos made his first international diplomatic mission to Mexico City, in March 2017, where he affirmed the strong economic relationship between Texas and Mexico.

Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was he a hero or a villain? I would say a villain. He set out to find a city of gold and riches. He soon found out that there wasn’t a city of gold. Instead he found something else. He found new villages and land, also new historical lands.

He represented House District 70. After completing 10 years in the House of Representatives, he was elected to the Texas State Senate where he represented Senate District 8 in both Collin and Dallas counties.

I also found it interesting that he is a licensed pilot. Though he isn’t a Texas native, he has been very active around the community. However, his voting record on many issues in Texas are problematic. It is disturbing that he supported bills like HB 15. This bill requires women to view sonograms before getting an abortion SB 14 is another bill that is alarming to many Texans. The base of this bill would require ID verification when voting. Bills like these and several others restrict Texans ability to participate in the voting process, and the “Sonogram Bill” is just another useless and harmful hurdle that women must go through when making the difficult decision to have an abortion. My personal values to no align with those of Representative Frullo, therefore I would not vote to re-elect Rep. Frullo. Though he has done good in regards to combating abuse of children and strengthening law enforcement, his stance on social issues is a big red flag for

Aashish Aman Professor Sharifian Govt 2306 29 September 2017 Texas House Representative According to Texas House of Representative, My district number is 105 as I am living in Irving and the name of Representative is Rodney Anderson. According to the district profile, the population of district is 180,475 where the people of age 18 to 64 years are dominant than other age group. Moreover, talking about the education, people often goes to preschool, elementary school up to 12th grade and after that most of them drop their studies which seem to be like less number of graduates in the district. Therefore there are less number of well-educated groups of people live over here as stated in district profile. Further moving on, when we talk

After doing some research, I found out that District 117 in the House of Representatives has been heavily Democratic for years now. It has been served by Philip Cortez for two years now and is located in South San Antonio in Bexar County. The population is heavily Hispanic plus Black, and the median income is considerably low,

This committee are the one to make policies, organizing all the insurance industry, managing them in the state of Texas. Health insurance was one of my top priority on my agenda.

Based on the demographic data showed above, I have several issues stand to develop in my platform for the Texas House of Representative.

The Lt. Governor of Texas is Dan Patrick. He was elected in 2014 as a “principled and committed conservative” (Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick). He “is leading the fight to secure the border, reduce property and business taxes, and address our state’s infrastructure challenges to assure that Texas continues to flourish economically” (Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick). “As Education Chairman in the 83rd Legislative Session, Lt. Gov. Patrick passed some of the most far-reaching education reforms in decades, tackling the problems of failing public schools and giving parents more choices for their children” (Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick). Prior to serving as Lieutenant Governor, Patrick “was twice elected to the Texas Senate from District 7 in Houston and Northwest Harris County” (Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick). During the 84th legislative session,

Congressman Steven Palazzo has been in office since the fifth of January in 2011. He is Congressman over the fourth district, which includes the Gulf Coast and Pine Belt. Steven Palazzo is a veteran of the National Guard, Certified Accountant, Republican, and a previous small business owner. He serves on a numerous of committees: Chairman of Subcommittee on Space, Vice Chairman Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Subcommittee on Research and Technology, and Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces.

So, the first step I would take towards this ambitious position would be to gain the following of the minority groups within the district. I would target everyone and form my campaign based on the idea that everyone benefits if I become a member of the Texas House of Representatives. Everyone would be considered equal, but I would need to better inform the minority groups about the benefits on hand, as their total involvement numbers are low for District 105.

Miguel Hidalgo was a Mexican catholic priest and a very intelligent man. He went to college and studied psychology and theology. Although he was a priest he had four children out of wedlock and probably several others that seem to be unknown. Miguel was also said to have a significant sense of style, and he was very flamboyant. From knowing just this little information about him, I could tell he was up for anything. On September 16,1810, Hidalgo lead his people, Indians and other indigenous people, in a revolt against Spain. He was trying to get Mexico out from under Spanish rule. He spoke to his people about a revolution. Miguel had prepared for two years for this to take place, but unfortunately his plans had been leaked. Spain had discovered

Author Jennine Capó Crucet, known as Lizet in her novel, and Ariel Hernandez, whose real name is Elián González, both arrived to Miami on the same day: “Thanksgiving 1999” (p. 6). Ariel arrived on a broken raft with the help of some fisherman, and Lizet flew in from New York only a few hours later. Even though their stories seem completely different, they were both trying to make a home among strangers. They both faced family, cultural, and political issues, but Ariel’s story was broadcast for everyone to see. Maybe Crucet included Ariel Hernandez in her story because his story intertwined with hers, which caused many difficulties for her, but he may never know who she is.

Jared Sharp Professor Welborn Art History 101 17 September 2017 "The Man at the Crossroads" Recognized as one of the most impressive Mexican painters of the twentieth century, Diego Rivera influenced the art world immensely, especially with his use of muralism. “Diego Rivera was born on December 8th, 1886, in Guanajuato, Mexico” (Biography of Rivera). Rivera was raised from a well off family and practiced art at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City. Rivera began his work in many places throughout Europe in cities like Madrid, Paris, and Italy.

Congressman Ruiz serves under the southeastern area of the 36th district of California. The district is located near two small towns called Hemet and Blythe California. The issue of access to state of the art hospitals and facilities would be high on the list of concerns for people living in this area. Small towns like these do not have the funding as the bigger districts. The less people living in the area, the less money is allocated to that district.
