Sen. Hutchison Gives Legislative Update At Port Lavaca Chamber of Commerce Coffee
Continues Three Day, 600 Mile Bus Tour to Meet with Gulf Coast Texans
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R–TX), Texas’ senior senator, today met with constituents, members of the business community, and local officials at an event hosted by the Port Lavaca Chamber of Commerce.
“I was pleased to meet with Texans from Calhoun 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 Port Lavaca and other Texas towns 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 on issues, including taxes, the economy, and energy. Also in attendance were Port Lavaca Mayor Jack Whitlow, Calhoun County Judge Michael Pfeifer and Matagorda County Judge Nate McDonald.
Today is the second day of Sen. Hutchison’s three day, 600 mile bus tour with 16 stops throughout South Texas and the Gulf Coast. Sen. Hutchison launched the tour on Monday in Harlingen and will bring the trip to a close with an event at the San Jacinto Memorial in LaPorte on Wednesday.
Sen. Hutchison is a member of the Senate Republican Leadership as Chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, is a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and is Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee.
