The son of immigrants, José Menéndez grew up working at his family’s small business located in San Antonio’s West Side. During his term in office, Menéndez passed over 200 bills that benefited children, seniors, veterans, and San Antonio families. One of the bills, David’s Law, empowers students, parents, schools, and law enforcement to combat and prevent cyberbullying. Senator Menéndez is also a strong advocate for job growth, community and business development. Along with his successful legislation, Senator Menéndez has secured millions of dollars for advancements in education, healthcare, parks, and additional funding developments, including $17 million for the Alamo Colleges.
Senator Menéndez began his public service career in 1997 when he was elected to the San Antonio City Council District 6 office, representing the city’s West Side. He was then elected to serve as State Representative for House District 124 in 2000. He was later entrusted with an appointment to the powerful Appropriations Committee where he secured millions of dollars for various crucial San Antonio initiatives. In his final session serving in the House, Menéndez was appointed Chairman of the House Committee on Defense and Veterans’ Affairs where he secured one of the state’s largest mental health programs for Veterans.
Senator Menéndez has distinguished himself as a commonsense problem solver, able to work with colleagues on all sides to serve the needs of Texas families. He has continued to remain committed to improving the state’s public education system, utilities and energy infrastructure, as well as housing and economic development.

Help Desk Apprentice
I graduated from the program last year after many years in the insurance industry and wanted to have a change in career. After graduating from the NPower program, I had the opportunity to be enrolled in an internship with Accenture Federal Services for almost two and half months and was converted to a role as a Technology Associate with Accenture Federal. I have a master’s degree in oil and gas management from Coventry University and am currently a doctoral student at Walden University. As the world is changing every day, I strive to learn and educate myself to fit the fast-changing system.
