Joe E. Moreno
The late State Representative Joe E. Moreno (Houston) was born in Houston, Texas on August 12, 1964. The first of three children, Joe Moreno grew to love his community and the Houston area. He graduated from St. Thomas High School, and later attended the University of St. Thomas and Texas Southern University. He was elected in November 1998 to serve in the Texas Legislature from House District 143.
Representative Moreno had experience both as a legislator and staff member in the Texas House of Representatives. He previously worked as a Legislative Aide for former District 143 State Representative Al Luna, as well as serving as Chief of Staff and Campaign Manager for State Representative Jessica Farrar (Houston).
Representative Moreno's priority for the 79th legislative session was working on ways to clean up Houston's air. He filed the much publicized House Bill 2792 which sought to require daily fence line monitoring of major air pollutants. Representative Moreno continually advocated on the House floor for provisions that would seek to clean up Houston's air.
