WASHINGTON -- Texas’ senior Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) released the following statement on the passing of former Houston Mayor Louie Welch:
“I was saddened by the news that my friend Louie Welch has passed away. I’ve known Louie for over thirty years, since I worked with him during my time in the state legislature. Mayor Welch was a key figure in the growth of Houston, first as a city councilman, then as Mayor.
