I am kind of thinking a #Latino candidate slate has been put together for the @houstontxdotgov , @HoustonISD & @HCCDistrict races. #houvote
Now this is very interesting. I don’t think this is a coincidence. I can’t remember the last time I saw a local Latino slate of candidates for an election. Here is their line-up:
Former HCC Trustee Herlinda Garcia talking on incumbent Robert Gallegos in City Council District I.
Former HCC Trustee Abel Davila in the open City Council District H.
Manuel Barrera taking on incumbent Mike Laster in City Council District J.
Incumbent HISD Trustee Manuel Rodriguez in District 3 running for re-election.
Former HISD Trustee Diana Davila running for her old position against incumbent Juliet Stipeche in District 8.
Art Aguilar running against incumbent HCC Trustee Eva Loredo in District VIII.
I really don’t want to get into the motivation behind this or speculate. I need to hear what they are saying on the campaign trail and see what they are putting out online or in campaign literature.
Two current elected officials and one former elected official suggested to me this past weekend that they were hearing the slate was being assembled.
Now this requires that we all stay tuned!
The anti-HERO folks are running radio ads. That was fast.
Pitcher Dallas Keuchel was selected by the ‘Stros in the seventh round of the 2009 MLB Draft. Who was the overall top draft choice that year?
This guy is not going to be president. I am talking about Jebbie. He shows no respect to some fellow American citizens. On using the term “anchor babies” here is from what the Tribune reported:
Later, responding to another question about the term, Bush tersely told a reporter: “This is so ridiculous. Give me the name you want me to use and I’ll use it.”
I will say it again, how about American citizen. Show some respect.
Stephen Strasburg of course was selected by the Nats with the top draft choice back in 2009.
We lost in the bottom of the ninth to the Yankees last night and hold a three and a half game lead.
Don’t know why the homosexual groups think the way they do. Abel and Art were running before the Supreme Court put ERO on the ballot. So what is with all this conspiracy theory and people that don’t pander to the Democratic Party? You know that the Democratic Party would not support them. Think about the HISD district and who held it, hint charter schools. I remember the Tejano Democrats supporting the non Latina. If you don’t bow down to them, you are not accepted.
Me, put me on the I will not support the ERO, I believe in traditional marriages, and know that killing a fetus is wrong. Those last two reasons are why I vote in Republican primaries. I am not even the most conservative in my family. One of my brother suggested that we round up the “illegals” and use them build the wall and then put them on the other side. He does not live in Houston. I am against the rounding up, and still upset when Marc Campos could not forgo one baseball game to show solidarity with “Mexican” looking folks in Arizona. Those laws that would allow cops to stop and make us prove we are Americans.
