Texas Roll Call Vote

I was a delegate to the 2016 Convention and the roll calls at that convention were somewhat boring. I loved tonight's roll call. There were some great responses to the roll calls votes tonight. I love the Wisconsin cheese heads.

The Texas rollcall vote made me smile. This convention's Texas rollcall is so much fun compared to the 2016 Convention. The Texas delegation was on an upper deck and I wonder if the TV camera got a good view of the roll call. Chairman Hinojosa was standing in the aisle when he read the results and there were no extra comments. I was amused to watch from my seat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and Congressman Al Green jockeying to get the best view for the TV cameras (I miss Sheila).



You can see Congressman Al Green hovering over Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa to the right.

I love this video and the story of Kate Cox. You can also see on of my county's State Rep., Ron Reynolds, directly to the left of Chairman Hinojosa.


I suspect that I got a better view on TV compared to actually being there.
