SANDRA RODRIGUEZ FILES FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 36

By


Accompanied by friends, family and supporters, Sandra Rodriguez filed for the position of State Representative District 36 today.

"Each and every family in our District needs a State Representative working hard for them so that they can overcome these tough economic times and help them get the necessary health care, education, jobs and police protection.

We need it now...and we need to make sure that our children will have it tomorrow.

I've devoted my entire life to helping our community...and I am proud of my accomplishments.

My father, Tatan Rodriguez, fought hard as a soldier for our country. He worked long hours on his feet as a barber to provide for our family and he was a dedicated and active community leader!

He instilled in me the importance of hard work, compassion for others and dedication to our community.

I’ve worked hard as a Public School Teacher and School Board Member, Juvenile Probation Officer, Office Manager and mother of four.

I am proud of the work I have done as a Board Member of the Palmer Drug Abuse Program, the Alamo Boys’ and Girls’ Club, and the Vannie E. Cook Cancer Center, and as a member and volunteer of the Texas Youth Commission BETO House, Hidalgo County Restitution Center, Hidalgo County Women’s Political Caucus,Texas Women Political Caucus, Mujeres Unidas, Domestic Violence Hot Line, Alamo Planning and Zoning Commission, Training Provider Advisory Board / Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Department, and a Teacher of Catholic Christian Doctrine.

I was awarded the AVANCE Mother of the Year award, which was the type of honor I know many of the parents in our district also deserve, as I know many of you have worked hard for your families.

You and I share the same dreams and goals.

We want the best education for our children, affordable health care for all, well paying jobs, and better roads, services and safer neighborhoods.

For too long our State Representatives have been more focused on their personal agendas and their personal problems than on our community.

You and I share the same values and hopes for our families' futures.

With your support and votes, we can make a difference.

Together, let’s make sure our voices are heard in Austin."

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.
