WASHINGTON -- U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R–TX), Texas’ senior senator, met with constituents, members of the business community, and local officials at an event hosted by the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce.
“I was pleased to meet with Texans from Nueces County today to update them on what I’ve been doing in Washington to address the issues that are important to them,” said Sen. Hutchison. “As I travel to Corpus Christi and other communities this month, I am most interested in hearing directly from Texans so I may better represent them in the Senate.”
Sen. Hutchison provided a legislative update to 100 people on issues, including taxes, the economy, and energy. Also in attendance were Corpus Christi Mayor Henry Garrett, Nueces County Judge Loyd Neal, Nueces County Commissioner Chuck Cazalas and City Councilman Larry Elizondo.
