               HONORING STATE REPRESENTATIVE BETTY BROWN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JEB HENSARLING

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 16, 2010

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I would like to recognize State 
Representative Betty Brown for her outstanding service and commitment 
to the State of Texas.
  A native of Kaufman County, Texas, Betty entered political office 
because she was concerned that her children and grandchildren would not 
have the same opportunities as previous generations.
  As a lifelong conservative, Betty has worked tirelessly to serve her 
community through state and local leadership positions including six 
terms representing Henderson and Kaufman counties as a member of the 
Texas House of Representatives.
  Representative Brown has served admirably on both the Elections 
Committee and the Agriculture & Livestock Committee where she has 
continued to promote the values and ideals of her constituents since 
first being elected to office in 1998. Betty has devoted much of her 
life in service to the State of Texas, and I appreciate her principled 
dedication and conviction while serving in the Texas Legislature.
  I am proud to call Betty a dear friend, and on behalf of the citizens 
of the Fifth District of Texas, I would like to thank Representative 
Brown for her twelve years of service and her commitment to defending 
freedom and liberty in our communities, state and nation.

                          ____________________
