Legislative Advocacy

Experience

May 10

Written By Steve Ruiz

I have experience speaking up for Texans in various capacities on the state and local level.

I went down to Austin to the 86th Texas State Legislature on behalf of Plumbers and Pipefitters statewide regarding Senate Bill 621 that would abolish the State Plumbers Examining Board.
While in Austin in 2019, I spoke against Tarrant Area State House Rep Craig Goldman’s bill (HD97) and Rep Brandon Creighton’s bill that would remove local control and pre-empt paid sick leave mandates by municipalities.
Helped gather 1600 signatures in the City of Euless for Unite Here Local 23, airline catering workers to pass a ballot measure regarding fair overtime law. Testified at the Euless City Council on behalf of UniteHere Local 23 resulting in the Euless City Council approving to put it up for a public vote in November 2020.
Gave public testimony at the Tarrant County Commissioner’s Court in March supporting a countywide stay at home order to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

I have the experience needed to advocate on your behalf. Please elect me to be your SD9 Committeeman.
