More on Silvestre Reyes
Description from Wikipedia:
Silvestre Reyes (born November 10, 1944 in Canutillo, Texas) represents Texas's 16th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. He is a member of the Democratic Party
Reyes served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He later worked for the U.S. Border Patrol. Reyes retired from the Immigration and Naturalization Service and ran for Congress against Ron Coleman in the Democratic primary, but Coleman retired. After winning a primary runoff, Reyes was easily elected to the House of Representatives as a Democrat in November 1996. He was most recently re-elected by a wide margin in November 2006.
Reyes has served as chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. In 2002, he considered running for the United States Senate, but decided against such a move. In 2005 he missed 94 votes in the House, the ninth most of any member.
Reyes was a key player in the 109th Congress because of his Immigration and Border Patrol experience. He was instrumental in leading the opposition to the House immigration proposal proposed by James Sensenbrenner, H.R. 4437. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi selected Reyes to present and lead the debate on a Democratic substitute to replace the Sensenbrenner legislation, which was voted down on a party line vote.
ASME honored Reyes with the ASME President's Award on April 3, 2008. ASME President Sam Zamrik presented the award in recognition of Reyes' "outstanding contributions in promoting diversity in the science, technology, engineering, and math fields" as the co-founder of the Congressional Diversity and Innovation Caucus.
