The Texas Politics Project, a unit of the Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services, presents "An Afternoon with a Representative" featuring State Rep. Rick Noriega.

Noriega is a five-term member of the Texas House of Representatives from Houston and a Lieutenant Colonel in the Texas Army National Guard. He is the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by Sen. John Cornyn.

Houston Mayor Bill White chose Noriega as Incident Commander of Houston's Hurricane Katrina relief efforts at the George R. Brown Convention Center in 2005.

The speaker series brings people from across the political spectrum and from all levels of government to discuss compelling political and policy issues. Speakers and topics are selected to engage students and the public, while providing insight into how the political process works. The event is free and open to the public.
