The resolution honors Phillip Saenz Cruz Jr. for his over thirty years of dedicated service to State Representative Richard Pea Raymond and the residents of House District 42. A native of Bryan, Mr. Cruz, affectionately nicknamed "Stick," has been a steadfast supporter of Representative Raymond since his first campaign, contributing significantly by engaging in various campaign activities such as door-to-door outreach, sign installation, and volunteer coordination. His commitment extends beyond campaign seasons, as he actively assists in both the Capitol and district offices, and participates in community events, including driving the representative in parades.

In addition to his political contributions, Mr. Cruz is a successful business owner of Pine Top Trucking and shares a passion for sports, particularly the Houston Astros, Dallas Cowboys, Texas A&M Aggies, and Texas Longhorns. His dedication and willingness to take on diverse responsibilities have made him an invaluable asset to Representative Raymond and his team. The resolution expresses the Texas House of Representatives' sincere appreciation for Mr. Cruz's efforts and extends best wishes for his future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for him as a token of recognition.
