Local Race for Hidalgo County District Clerk

Laura Hinojosa is running for Hidalgo County District Clerk. Laura is known as U.S. Rep. Ruben Hinojosa's daughter, but she has plenty of public service under her belt. This will be her first elected office. Her experience includes the following:

• President of Boys and Girls Club of McAllen
• Executive Board Member of Boys and Girls Club of McAllen
• Member of Leadership McAllen Class 13
• Board Member of Valley AIDS Council
• Committee Member of Our Lady of Sorrows Fund Raising events
• Committee Member of Cattle Baron Ball American Cancer Society
• Board Member and Gala Co-chair Discovery School
• Board Member Palmer Drug Abuse Program
• Past Board Member Junior League of McAllen
• Committee Member and Chairman Auction CommitteeMcAllen Internatioal Museum
• Teacher La Joya High School, South Texas ISD, Educational Certification Alternative Program, Oratory Academy

That's quite a bit of work that Laura has done. I've only met Laura when she stops by to do some shopping where I work. She has always been friendly and direct with this lowly cashier.

To be fair, I have not met the current District Clerk, Omar Guerrero. Perhaps some day when he shops at the store.
