This resolution congratulates Edward Sills on his retirement as communications director for the Texas AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations), a labor union federation. After more than 31 years of service, Sills is recognized for his significant contributions to the organization, including daily email updates, public communications, and expanding the Texas AFL-CIO Scholarship Program, which has granted over $650,000 to students since 2006. Prior to his work with the AFL-CIO, Sills was a journalist for 12 years and holds degrees in English and law from Cornell University. The resolution highlights his professional achievements, his role in supporting working families, and his collaboration with labor leaders and elected officials. It also acknowledges his personal life, including his wife Enedelia Obregón and two children, Alejandro and Graciela, and notes his retirement plans to spend more time with family, travel, and pursue hobbies like birding and collecting puzzles. The Texas House of Representatives formally congratulates Sills and wishes him continued happiness, and will prepare an official copy of the resolution as an expression of their high regard.
