WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) announced that Miguel Solis of Dallas, Texas will accompany him to the State of the Union Address on Tuesday, February 4, 2020.

A native Texan, Miguel Solis was elected to the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees on November 5, 2013 through special election and has since been re-elected twice. Solis' recent decision to conclude an eleven-year tenure serving the District's students has included seven years on the board, where he has served as President and Vice-President making him the youngest ever to hold these positions. Solis also serves as Executive Director of the non-profit Coalition for a New Dallas where he works to improve the lives of everyday Dallasites and previously co-founded and directed the Latino Center for Leadership Development where he oversaw the organization's efforts to develop new political leaders and policy ideas for the Latino community.

"I am proud to announce that Trustee Solis will be attending next week's State of the Union as my guest," Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33). "Miguel's record of fighting for equal opportunities and prosperity for all—whether it is in the classroom or for the Latino community—speaks for itself. Over the years in his roles as both a member of the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees and co-founder and president of the Latino Center for Leadership Development he ensured that there is diversity in our next generation of leaders that reflects the rich fabric of our North Texas community."
