                          HONORING JUDY HAWLEY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MICHAEL CLOUD

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 6, 2019

  Mr. CLOUD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Judy Hawley, who 
devoted her life to serving the people of Corpus Christi, Texas.
  Ms. Hawley received the 2018 nomination for the Texas Transportation 
Hall of Honor, due in large part to her commitment and advocacy for 
transportation infrastructure investment and policy decisions.
  Some of Ms. Hawley's community involvement includes: eight years in 
the Texas House of Representatives, Commissioner for the Port of Corpus 
Christi Authority from 2004 to 2016 (serving as Chair during the last 
two years), chair of the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development 
Corporation, chair of the Texas State Aquarium Board, and co-chair of 
the Chamber Infrastructure Committee.
  Furthermore, Ms. Hawley served as the former chair of the I-69 
Advisory Committee. During her tenure, she played a pivotal role in 
guiding the growth of essential trade corridors linking ports, 
waterways, trains, airports, and highways from the Rio Grande Valley 
and the Coastal Bend, creating opportunities for local jobs and 
commerce.
  If not for Judy Hawley, critical issues, such as the need for a rail 
master plan, an enduring replacement for the Harbor Bridge, and the 
development of Interstate 69 would not have received the kind of 
attention they warranted.
  I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Judy 
Hawley for her incredible service and devotion to the people of Corpus 
Christi and the 27th District of Texas.
