Senator Juan Hinojosa
Select Legislative History

After serving 16 years in the Texas House of Representatives, Senator Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa was elected to the Texas Senate in 2002.

Serving as vice-chair of Senate Jurisprudence and as a member of the Senate Finance Committee, Senator Hinojosa has focused on legislation tackling health care coverage for working families, strengthening border security without damaging Texas’ valuable economic ties with Mexico, and improving child welfare and safety in our public and private schools.

His work has led to sweeping changes in the juvenile justice system; more accountability and consumer protections for electricity ratepayers; and a proposed moratorium on skyrocketing college tuition rates so that more working families have an opportunity to attend university. Throughout his 36 years of military and public service, Senator Hinojosa has made it his duty to protect the civil liberties granted to us by the Constitution and to fight for a more transparent government that truly represents the people of Texas.
