On Wednesday, Texas pharmacy hosted an event for Texas Senate Health and Human Services committee Chair Dr. Charles Schwertner at the home of TPA CEO Debbie Garza and her husband, José. Senator Schwertner is the ONLY pharmacist in the Texas legislature, and pharmacy’s legislative bills must be heard in his committee. More than 50 pharmacists and pharmacy supporters came out to show their support for Chairman Schwertner.
“We were very pleased to host this fundraiser for Chairman Schwertner on behalf of Texas pharmacy,” Garza said.“It is important that Texas pharmacy supports members like the Senator, particularly with his unique pharmacy background.”
The event showed that Together Pharmacy Advances! The Senator delivered remarks to the group and said, "If you don't have a unified message at the Capitol, it's hard to get anything done." We showed him pharmacy in Texas is strong and supportive of him. Thank you to the many pharmacists, technicians, student pharmacists, and pharmacy organizations who contributed to make this event a success! This event helped demonstrate to the Senator that Texas pharmacy is working together and is a force to be reckoned with in the political arena.
