| Senior Legislative Manager Noe Barrios |
Legislative Manager Kelsey Bernstein |
A native of the South Texas coast, Barrios received his political science and economics education at the University of Texas at Austin and was first introduced to the Texas Legislature as an intern in Gov. Bill Clements’ office. Twelve regular sessions and fifteen special sessions later, his quarter of a century experience in both the House and Senate managing committees and member’s offices provides the understanding necessary to assist anyone with dealings before state government. Barrios is married to his wife Laura of twenty three years. They have raised their three children in Austin. He is an avid outdoorsman and enjoys escaping the big city life whenever possible. Barrios is the liaison to the Sheriffs’ Association of Texas.
Bernstein comes to TAC from the House Committee on County Affairs where she served as the committee director. Her understanding of county government and ability to create and execute strategic legislative initiatives are invaluable in her advocacy for counties at the Legislature. Bernstein attended the University of North Texas where she received her Bachelor of Arts in political science with a minor in criminal justice. Bernstein began her career working on campaigns around the country before returning to her hometown of Austin.
