Texas State Senator José Menéndez (D-26) says the people in his district “always step up.”

In his Know Your Electeds interview, Menéndez describes his team as the hardest working legislative team in Texas. He also talks about passing a Holocaust Remembrance week in public schools in just one session. What has he learned from his time in office? “You need to reach out to others.”

Menéndez has been a member of the Texas Senate since 2015 and says it’s an “honor and a privilege to represent people who have a big heart.”
