He was a top executive at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, where he coordinated all human services for the state of Texas. In this role, he led a 35,000-person staff, administered a $38 billion annual budget, and directed the Medicaid/CHIP, SNAP, and TANF programs. A veteran of high-stakes public affairs campaigns, Enrique oversaw the communications divisions of two state agencies and the Texas Chamber of Commerce. He was the lead spokesman for multiple statewide political campaigns and elected officials.
