Texas, McAllen firefighter groups endorse Sergio Muñoz, Jr. for state representative

(McAllen) - Noting his strong support for public safety and working families, the McAllen Fire Fighters Association and its statewide organization, the Texas State Association of Fire Fighters, have endorsed Sergio Muñoz, Jr. for State Representative, House District 36.

House District 36 includes Granjeno, Hidalgo, southern McAllen, most of Mission, Palmview, Peñitas, and Pharr.

"We, the 139 members of the McAllen Fire Fighters Association Local 2602, are proud to present you with this letter of endorsement," Amado Cano, general president of the area group, stated in its support for Muñoz. "We feel that with your personnel beliefs, education and experience you will be a positive influence to the State Representative Office and the citizens of District 36.  We look forward to working with you during your campaign and would like to offer our assistance, as well as our endorsement."

Mike Higgins, the chief-of-staff and legislative director for the Texas State Association of Fire Fighters, said the local support for Muñoz also brought a statewide endorsement from his group, which represents more than 15,000 professional fire fighters and 169 affiliate locals.

The statewide show of support reflects the legislative policies of Muñoz, a successful lawyer and Palmview Municipal Court Judge, to be "a strong supporter of public safety and fire fighters across Texas,"

Higgins said.

The Texas State Association of Fire Fighters was established in 1938 and it is Texas's only professional, career fire fighters organization.

The Texas State Association of Fire Fighters is affiliated with the International Association of Fire Fighters.

Muñoz said he was grateful for the endorsements, noting that protecting the public is one of the most important responsibilities of the Texas Legislature.

"Fire fighters, like police, emergency medical service personnel, and other law enforcement professionals have my highest admiration – these are the brave men and women who rush into danger to save our lives, our homes and our businesses," said Muñoz. "I look forward to working with them on all major legislation that helps and protect them, because that will help and protect all of us."

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.
