Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz of Texas’ 15th district hosted a Congressional Record Ceremony in Seguin, honoring several Guadalupe County residents for their contributions to the community.
“I was humbled to present each honoree from Guadalupe County with their official Congressional Record. As a Congresswoman, it is an honor to have the opportunity to share Texans’ inspiring stories on the House Floor, ensuring their legacies are forever part of our nation’s history. Thank you to everyone from the community who joined us for this special event,” said Congresswoman De La Cruz during the ceremony.

Lee of Seguin for his life and community service, Seguin City Councilwoman Sonia Mendez, and U.S. Navy WWII veteran Mr. Charlie Willmann on his 100th birthday.
