I’m so proud of our Capitol Director, Katy Aldredge - she is being given the James Madison Award for her efforts on transparency and making sure that the public knows how their taxpayer dollars are being spent. Katy and Kelsey Erickson (General Counsel for Sen. Watson) worked not just hours, or days, but years on critical legislation related to the Texas Public Information Act. There were so many points along the way where we hit roadblocks and all looked lost, but Katy never gave up. Over 100 stakeholders all going in different directions, legalese that would make your eyes water, she did it! Congrats
Katy Aldredge, capitol dir. for @VoteGiovanni and Kelsey Erickson, gen. counsel for @KirkPWatson received the James Madison Award from the @TxFOIFT.
Both were key to passing SB 943 & SB 944, major TAB-advocated bills in the 2019 Legislature to restore access to public records.
Today, @TxFOIFT recognized the important work of the two legislative staffers who ushered key Public Information Act reforms through the #txlege: Kelsey Erickson, my general counsel, and Katy Aldredge with @VoteGiovanni. I'm grateful for their dedication, patience and expertise.
