Peña (born 1949) was a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 144 in Harris County, Texas.[1] BackgroundBorn in Galveston, Peña moved to Houston with his family when he was nine years of age. Of a modest background, he held an assortment of jobs, often two at a time, over his working career and is now retired. He obtained a bachelor's degree in Political Science in 1996, when he was forty-seven, from Texas Southern University in Houston. He and his wife, the former Cynthia Hernandez (born 1958), have resided since 1992 in Pasadena, Texas. The couple has four children.[2] Political lifePeña unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for the District 144 seat in 2012 but was defeated by intraparty rival, David Pineda, who polled 1,437 votes (58.2 percent) to Peña's 1,030 (41.8 percent).[3] Pineda was narrowly defeated in the November 6, 2012 general election by the Democrat Mary Ann Perez. In 2014, Peña was unopposed for the Republican nomination for District 144, which includes the San Jacinto Monument, the Houston Ship Channel, and Battleship Texas. Peña calls himself a conservative, which was represented prior to 2013 by Barbara Legler and her late husband, Ken Legler of Pasadena, who died in office in 2012. Mrs. Legler did not contest the seat, as Pineda defeated Peña for the nomination that year. In the November 4, 2014 general election, Peña turned the tables on Representative Perez. He won the seat by 152 votes, 6,015 votes (50.6 percent) to Perez's 5,863 (49.4 percent).[4] In 2016 Mary Ann Perez defeated Peña in a rematch with 16,258 votes to 10,736, 60.2% to 39.8% [5] Peña outlined ten reasons that voters should support him, including policies for the creation of more jobs, the enhancement of family safety, health care, and reform of the state educational system. He stressed his support for Christian morality and values.[2] {{Portal|Texas|Politics|Conservatism|Christianity}}References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lrl.state.tx.us/legeLeaders/members/memberDisplay.cfm?memberID=5787&searchparams=chamber=H~city=~countyID=0~RcountyID=~district=144~first=~gender=~last=~leaderNote=~leg=84~party=~roleDesc=~Committee=|title=Gilbert Peña|publisher=Texas Legislative Reference Library|accessdate=December 10, 2014}} {{S-start}}{{S-off}}{{s-par|us-tx-hs}}{{succession box2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.takeback144.com/meet-gilbert/|title=Meet Gilbert Peña|publisher=Take Back House District 144|accessdate=December 10, 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141220090656/http://www.takeback144.com/meet-gilbert/|archivedate=December 20, 2014|df=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://elections.sos.state.tx.us/elchist.exe |title=Republican primary election returns, May 29, 2012 |publisher=Texas Secretary of State |accessdate=December 10, 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061108172637/http://elections.sos.state.tx.us/elchist.exe |archivedate=November 8, 2006 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://elections.sos.state.tx.us/elchist.exe |title=General election returns, November 4, 2014 |publisher=Texas Secretary of State |accessdate=December 10, 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061108172637/http://elections.sos.state.tx.us/elchist.exe |archivedate=November 8, 2006 |df= }} 5. ^https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas-state-house-district-144 | before=Mary Ann Perez | title=Texas State Representative from District 144 (Harris County) Gilbert Peña | years=2015– | after=Incumbent}}{{s-end}}{{Texas House of Representatives}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Pena, Gilbert}} 9 : 1949 births|Living people|Members of the Texas House of Representatives|Texas Republicans|Texas Southern University alumni|American politicians of Mexican descent|People from Galveston, Texas|People from Houston|21st-century American politicians |
