Good News: One of OUR Yegua Art students from Somerville High School, Kathleen Lambert has been chosen as the TX-17 winner of the 2021 Congressional Art Competition. Ms. Cochran, the Art Teacher from Somerville High School has been working with our office and speaks so highly of Kathleen and her artwork. Ms. Cochran has been wonderful to work with during this process. Congressman Sessions is thrilled she has been named the winner to represent our district for this year’s competition.

However, the date is dependent on when the Capital Visitors Center opens up. We expect transportation to be provided by Southwest Airlines for her and a guardian to attend the reception.
