Miklos Receives Law Enforcement Endorsement
Today, Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas (CLEAT) endorsed State Representative Robert Miklos’ reelection campaign.
“Robert had a successful session and proved that he is a great friend to law enforcement,” Charley Wilkison, CLEAT’s Director of Public Affairs said. “We look forward to next session so he can continue to help keep Texans safe.”
Representative Miklos served on the Criminal Jurisprudence and Urban Affairs Committees. These two committees were responsible for bills pertaining to law enforcement. Because of this, Miklos worked closely with CLEAT to ensure their concerns were raised and addressed in committee.
In addition to committee work, Representative Miklos authored two bills that directly affected Texas Law Enforcement officers and their families.
* HB 1545, involved a police officer’s ability to return back to work during the appeal of a mediators ruling.
* HB 2145, allowed for one family member of certain deceased peace officers to make an oral statement regarding the terms of a plea agreement.
Both bills were passed out of committee. Representative Miklos was also the House sponsor of SB 11, the omnibus anti-gang bill.
“From my time as a prosecutor to serving as a state legislator, I have always supported our peace officers,” Miklos said. “I’m honored and proud to receive CLEAT’s endorsement.”
State Representative Robert Miklos finished his first session in the Texas House of Representatives. He represents House District 101, Mesquite, Balch Springs and Sunnyvale. Residents of House District 101 are encouraged to learn more about Rep. Miklos at www.robertmiklos.com.
