The 87th Texas Legislature convened Tuesday and Henderson County's two lawmakers in the House of Representatives were sworn in.
Most of Henderson County is in House District 4, which has Keith Bell as its representative. The west side of Cedar Creek Lake is in House District 10, which is represented by Jake Ellzey.
This is Bell's second term representing Henderson County.
In a press release, Bell said, "It is imperative that this session be focused on supporting free and fair elections, increasing broadband access, backing law enforcement officers, defending the second amendment and protecting our constitutional freedoms. I look forward to ensuring that Texas continues to lead by example by reinforcing the conservative values and policies that make Texas great. It is my privilege to serve, and I shall honor your confidence!"
Ellzey was sworn in for the first time Tuesday and said on Twitter, "I'm honored to be entrusted with this responsibility and I look forward to working on behalf of Texans and the United States Constitution over the next 140 days of session."
