El Paso state Rep. Norma Chavez will head to Washington next week to lobby for President Barack Obama's plans to reform health care, including the public health insurance option.
Chavez, who worked on the Obama presidential campaign last year, was one of more than 600 state legislators who signed a letter this week supporting Obama's health care plan.
Next week, Chavez announced in a press release, she will go to Capitol Hill with state Rep. Elliott Naishtat, D-Austin, Bexar County Commissioner Chico Rodriguez and LULAC Council President Henry Rodriguez.
