Texas State Representative Vince Perez represents El Paso — and serves on Ways & Means, where the state's tax decisions get made. In 2025 he broke quorum over the redistricting maps, met with Governor Newsom, and returned to the floor to deliver the most-circulated rebuttal of HB 4. He also moved a UTEP Student Union into law and sent a public law school for El Paso through the Texas House.
