Sid Miller, Commissioner-elect of the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), recently named members of his transition team. The team will work with Miller to make sure TDA is focusing on the most critical issues facing the state, he said. These issues are long-term water needs, strengthening and promoting the state’s equine industry and protecting consumer safety, Miller said.

Transition team members are Rep. Allen Ritter of Nederland, who chaired the House Natural Resources Committee, but is not returning to the legislature; Lillie Gilligan, a health and human services expert from Austin; Rep. Bill Callegari of Katy, a civil engineer and water expert who also is leaving the legislature; Jim Reaves of Austin, who represents the Texas Nursery & Landscape Association; Johnny Trotter of Hereford; president of the American Quarter Horse Association and owner of Bar G Feedyard; and Kenneth Banks of Schulenburg, who is a member of the American Quarter Horse Foundation.

Additional team members are Pierre De Wet of Tyler, president of Kiepersol Enterprises; Bob Reeves of Center, a rancher and timber producer; Diane Chilton-Harper of Pilot Point, a quarter horse breeder and chair of the Texas Bred Horse Association; and Sylvia Hernandez Maddox, a rancher and former president of the Republican Hispanic National Assembly.
