I just had an anonymous submission for Eddie Zamora's website. Zamora is running for District 15 Representative against incumbent, Ruben Hinojosa, and another challenger Paul Haring. I visited the site, of course, and it is a blog. Here is some information that I garnered from Zamora's site:

-Graduated from David Crockett High School in Austin, TX
-Served in the U.S. Navy for six years
-Graduated from Southwest School of Electronics
-Graduated from U.S.Navy Electronics Technician "A" School

-Certified Welder from Piedmont Community College
-Licensed and Ordained Minister in full fellowship with Abundant Grace Community Church

Some more info about Zamora

-Lower taxes -the people know how to spend their own money better than the government
-Curb deficit spending -we need fiscally responsible people in Washington to limit spending of the peoples' money

-Maintain Social Security while looking for ways to improve
-Education for our children, not Indoctination -The U.S. Constitution should be required reading for all high school graduates

It seems the blog just started earlier this month. Hopefully, Eddie Zamora will post more updates about his activities, appearances, and more about his stances on issues. I congratulate Zamora on joining the blogging community.

Does he mention his stint in the "pen"? The newspaper reported that he ended up there after pulling a gun out on his ex-wife. He does talk pretty openly about the way he learned how to read while incarcerated, he continued his "education" while awaiting his 6 years to pass...oh, and he lifted weights while he was there too... I wonder if he developed some life-long friendships? If so, I'm sure they're sorry (as is he) because felons can't vote. Being a convicted felon himself, I still don't understand how he can run for office, but I guess it's all part of RGV politics.

Actually, he does. He goes into detail at his blog. It's the very first entry he makes.

Paul Haring also has a web site too. Apparently his only qualification for office is his opposition to abortion. Still being the only canidate in the primary w/o a felony conviction should make it easy.

Shaine, in regards to "anonymous", felons CAN vote. It's in the Texas Voter Registration Application. It states you "must affirm that you have not been convicted of a felony or IF A FELON have completed all of punishment, supervision, period of probation, or have been pardoned". As for whether or not Eddie Zamora can run for Congress, I'm sure he did his homework and isn't about to waste his time or money running for elected office.

Thanks Hector. I'll remember that from now on.

Thanks anonymous for sharing Haring's website. I'll add it to the sidebar.

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.
