The commission’s presiding official read a list of nine applicants for one unexpired term — Alicia Woodrow, Michael Proctor, Heather Andrews, Tanya Newman, Tony Baker, Theresa Johnson, Corey Palmer, John Crabtree and Samuel Houston. Speaker 5 nominated Samuel Houston; the nomination was seconded and the commission held a roll-call vote. Commissioners recorded “Yes” from Commissioner Goldings, Commissioner Kenner and Commissioner McBride, and the appointment was announced as approved.
