Outlines legislative priorities and announces staff
AUSTIN, TEXAS–State Rep. Dwayne Bohac (R-Houston) was sworn in to office on January 11th along with 149 other members of the Texas House of Representatives and is pleased to announce his Capitol staff for the 82nd Legislative Session.
Bohac, a lifelong resident of District 138, has worked with local community leaders to improve the greater Spring Branch and Oak Forest communities since being elected in 2002. In previous sessions Bohac has fought for and will continue to work hard to lower taxes on both homeowners and businesses, improve our public school system, reduce crime through tough, common sense measures, reduce urban blight, pass voter photo ID legislation, increase border security and focus on measures that grow the Texas economy.
"It is an honor for me to represent my friends and neighbors in the Texas House. I grew up here, attended our local public schools and now, with my wife Dawn, am raising our four children here. My experience as a neighbor, husband, father and friend help guide me through the difficult decisions we face in Austin, " said Bohac.
In addition to being sworn in to office, Bohac is pleased to announce his staff for the 82nd Legislative Session.
