This session, Rep. Reynolds played a key leadership role in many debates including the state’s budget crisis, funding public education, fighting for teachers and protecting the elderly. “I was proud to announce that Ron was our Freshman of the Year,” said Jessica Farrar, House Democratic Leader. “Many members believe that a freshman’s job is to be seen, but not heard. Ron refused to take a back seat during this tough legislative session and his voice was important as we fought for teachers, financial aid for college students, and to keep nursing homes open.”

“I commend Rep. Ron Reynolds on being named Freshman of the Year by the House Democratic Caucus,” Speaker Joe Straus said. “He has worked tirelessly on behalf of District 27, and his talents and experience have served the Texas House well.” Reynolds spoke out vigorously against the budget, which is scheduled to cut $4 billion from public education, keep 30,000 graduation high school seniors from receiving college financial aid, and will close hundreds of nursing homes in early 2013.

“I am very proud and humbled to receive this recognition from my colleagues and it has been an honor to represent the constituents of House District 27. I am excited about the important legislation that I was able to pass during my freshman session,” stated Rep. Reynolds. “I worked very hard and reached across party lines to get my bills passed, but there is still a lot of work to be done. I look forward to returning to the district after the special session and continuing my hard work in the interim,” said Rep. Reynolds.
