March 2018 Primary ballot to be the State Representative for District 37.
That position has been held by State Rep. Rene Oliveira for the last 36 years.
Dominguez has been a county commissioner since June 2014. He has closely followed the previous two legislative sessions and feels he is ready to lead District 37 in Austin and wants to bring a new vision to the position.
“I’ve worked with three different county judges and four different commissioners. I have enjoyed
working for the public as a county commissioner and will continue to do so for the next year. Due to
election rules, I have been unable to make this announcement until this month," he said.

“As a county commissioner, we determine the county budget, establish county policies, address
indigent health care services and work for the betterment of the quality of life of those in the county," he added.
"Since joining the commissioners court, we joined the effort to bring Space X to Brownsville, implemented vast improvements to county parks including Isla Blanca and E.K. Atwood on South Padre Island, and negotiated several economic incentive agreements to bring much needed jobs to the area. I
"In my own precinct, I worked to finish the street paving project in Cameron Park, bringing street lights to Olmito and San Pedro, addressing the clean water needs of residents of San Pedro, and introducing the first all-inclusive playground in the county."
Dominguez listed other important accomplishments.
“I currently represent Cameron County on the Brownsville Metropolitan Planing Organization (MPO), the Lower Rio Grande Development Council, the Brownsville EDC, the Animal Shelter Committee, the county Audit Committee, and in Austin with the Conference of Urban Counties (CUC). At the CUC, I recently became the Vice-Chairman for Administration on the Policymaking Committee in Austin. I also served as the active judge pro-tem when former Judge Carlos Cascos was appointed the Secretary of State.
“I believe that District 37 needs a representative who will not only represent the public during the
legislative session, but will also work in coordination with the County Commissioners Court and city
commissions to bring much needed jobs, infrastructure, and exposure of what this area has to offer for the full two years of the term. As a former educator, I want to be a voice for students at UTRGV to push for their education needs.”

Hell, I will vote for anybody that is not currently incarcerated or out on bail, to get rid of that fool Olivera. He is a disgrace to our community.
The time has come for new blood in this district.
"BRING MUCH NEEDED JOBS"Mr. Dominguez what we need is to stop CORRUPTION if you do that, this a form to bring jobs you need stop the COMPADRISMO in all levels of governament CITY, COUNTY, STATE.No more bull shit
He is just as slimy as Oliveira.
Thank goodness we have a credible candidate to run against Rene Oliviera for State Rep. Oliviera is a womanizer and his vote in Austin is for sale to special interests. Oliviera is an arrogant asshole and has never done anything that didn't benefit himself. Alex Dominguez is a very bright young man; who has served the people of Cameron County in a variety of public service positions. The people of this area will be served very well by electing Alex to replace Oliviera in Austin.
Oliveira just smells like a pig.
SORT OF REMINDS ME OF A POEM BY CRANE
I stood upon a high place,
And saw, below, many devils
Running, leaping,
and carousing in sin.
One looked up, grinning,
And said, "Comrade! Brother!"

He has my vote. Anybody who is not an Oliveira, Garcia, Lucio, not associated with Tony Martinez, TSC, BISD, courthouse.
Please, Mr. Dominguez, state your platform, follow it and local citizens will support you as long as you don't forget who put you there and put Brownsville on the map as a successful border town, not like right now that we are the laughing stock of the RGV.
Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!
I will be voting for you Alex, and as a voter in Cameron County in will help do my part in pushing your name, and helping in any possible way I and my family can. KND
Dominguez is ethical
Anyone but that do nothing bug-eyed drunk excuse of a cokehead toadie looking mofo! PLEASE! PEOPLE VOTE FOR ALEX DOMINGUEZ!
If only Dominguez hadn't voted for LNG, I would knock on doors for him, I would round up friends and family in the car to vote to support him, the way I will help Eddie Trevino who is a friend of west rail trail and the island. Just don't care about Dominguez anymore. In fact, I'm disgusted because I used to think he was intelligent, but he's ok with kids drinking sludge and breathing fumes. Oil billionaires make buck while we get the cancer. Turning SPI into smokestacks and oil slicks. Fuck that. That is not what we are, he never should have supported that. a disgrace. never get the votes of my family and neighbors, and NO ONE on the island or PI, that's for damn sure. Sad.
