Dear Fellow Democrats,

Gah - by the looks of it, there are A LOT of Campaign events this week.  I am attaching an invitation with info on all the events scheduled for this week.

Tuesday is a Campaign Kick Off for Alma Garza for District Attorney.  Wednesday is a Campaign Fiesta for Arturo Guajardo for County Clerk.  Thursday is a Campaign Kick Off for Veronica Gonzales for State Representative.  Saturday is a Golf Tournament Fundraiser for Justice Linda Yanez for 13th Court of Appeals. Saturday also is a Campaign Kickoff/GOTV Bicycle Tour for Dolly Elizondo for Hidalgo County Democratic Chair.  Their invitations and additional info on each event are attached chronologically below.

Finally, at the very bottom of this email, as some inspiration/motivation to get involved, support our Democratic Candidates and Help Turn Texas Blue, is a letter from the Texas Democratic Party regarding: Democratic State Reps Targeted by GOP Extremists.  

Hope to see you at some of these events.

Dear Fellow Dems,
Mark your calendars, dust off your bikes, and get ready for a FUN bike ride. Sign up early and get a FREE t-shirt! Just download the registration form send it in with your check then pick up your packet the day before the race, and LET's Go!
Ride to G.O.T.V. is a re-election FUNdraiser for me, Dolly L. Elizondo, Hidalgo County Democratic Party Chair. Besides being a mom, business owner, and Party Chair….. I love to cycle. In 2006 I purchased my 1st race bike and convinced my best friend Velma Garcia to do the same. We both had a fall the same year and I stopped cycling. With Velma's encouragement, in early 2009 I began cycling again and love the sport. By participating in this event you will help me continue to serve our community as Democratic Party Chair, an elected position in which I receive no monetary compensation and is 100% volunteer driven. You will also become part of history!! I intend to put on this ride every year converting it into a non-profit bipartisan event. Funds will go to VOTER REGISTRATION PROJECTS in HIDALGO COUNTY in the future.
Thank you for your continued support,
Dolly

Cleaning Mold and Mildew From Your Window Air Conditioner

By
I don't think cleaning mold and mildew from your window air conditioner is a problem specific to the Rio Grande Valley. After all, there are plenty of other places with high temperatures and high humidity. However, given that there are so many of us who rely on window units to cool our homes, allow me to share some experience in cleaning these things out. Why I'm Cleaning My Own A/C Obviously, our window units grew some black stuff on the blower and its enclosure. This generated allergies in my little one, who is sensitive to such things. Not having my own laboratory, I couldn't tell you if it is mold or mildew. It matters not. What I've Tried Other than replacing the window unit every couple months, I've tried washing the unit with Clorox products. I figure bleach kills everything; but, I guess it doesn't. We still had to use cotton swabs to wipe and scrub surfaces on the blower and enclosure, which is almost impossible on some models. You can't d...

Fall 2024 in the RGV

By
It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

By
Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
