Joseph C. "Joe" Pickett (born December 6, 1956) is an American politician, entrepreneur and writer. Since 1995, he has been a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives representing its 79th District, which encompasses part of El Paso County. Joe, as he is known by his constituents and members of the House, is highly regarded and has earned the respect and trust of his colleges on "both sides of the aisle". In June 2015, Pickett was named by Texas Monthly magazine as one of the Worst Legislators of 2015.〔http://www.texasmonthly.com/burka-blog/list-best-and-worst-2015〕 referencing an incident during a House Transportation Committee meeting where Pickett had another member of the legislature removed. There was a suspicion of the improper registration of witnesses on a certain Bill to create a misconception of overwhelming support for the Bill up for consideration. In September of 2015 the House Committee on General Investigation & Ethics, and the Texas Rangers, released a finding of no fault on Pickett's behalf and a call for change to the House current Witness Registration was made by the Ethics Committee. Picket also wrote a children's novel, ''Margo! the Weird Cat!'' (2006).〔http://www.amazon.com/Margo-Weird-Cat-Joe-Pickett/dp/1599716895〕 ==Bibliography== * Pickett, Joe C. (2006).
