Meet Your Legislators

A group of Representatives and Senators will be invited to participate in AccessAbility Fest this year through interaction in the Opening Ceremonies and Ask the Expert segments of the event.  Stay tuned for more information!

Representative Jose Menendez

Picture
District 124

Jose has for the past several sessions been the author of a number of bills and other initiatives that impact persons with special needs or are at risk because of their physical or mental development situation.  This includes a lot of work with Haven for Hope,  Center for HealthCare Services, and  Gordon Hartman and Morgan’s Wonderland,  as well as several of the disability advocacy groups that work with us in Austin. His goal is to be the “ elected lobbyist” if you will in the legislature for those with disabilities and special needs.
