Arlene Wohlgemuth

Arlene Reid Wohlgemuth is a former Republican [Party (USA)|Republican] member of the Texas [House of Representatives] from District 58 in Johnson and Bosque counties south of Fort Worth, Texas.
Wohlgemuth served in the 74th [Texas Legislature] through 78th Texas Legislatures. In 1997, she became involved in what was called the "Memorial Day Massacre." She raised a point of order that killed fifty-two proposed bills by preventing them from coming up for a vote before the end of the legislative session. Wohlgemuth was angry that opposition legislators had used a similar procedure the week before to prevent a vote on a proposal supported by Wohlgemuth to require parental notification if a minor procures an abortion.
