GOP LEADERS ENDORSE ADELA, ONLY ONE WHO CAN BEAT PRESUMED DEMO CANDIDATE VELA IN NOVEMBER

Since I last recommended Adela Garza For Congressional District 34, much has happened. 

She was the top voter getter in a three way Republican Primary race, but she is in a tough run-off election with Jessica Puente Bradshaw. 

The winner of that run-off election will face the likely Democrat nominee, Filemon Vela. Mr. Vela has raised and spent over $250,000.00 in his primary elections.

Money and the ability to raise it, is very important in elections. 

For example, my campaign to defeat Yvonne Gonzales Tourielles for State Representative cost close to $350,000.00 to $400,000.00. Ms. Bradshaw has raised according to her late-filed campaign finance reports a paltry $20,000.00. 

Whereas, Mrs. Adela Garza has raised over $100,000.00 and now qualifies for Congressman Pete Session's "Young Guns" program money which should match her $100,000.00 when the run-off election is over, and should put her close to $200,000.00 in August.

 So in terms of money, Mrs. Garza is the only candidate who can even hope to go toe to toe with Democrat Filemon Vela.
Mrs. Adela Garza has also received the endorsement of her former boss, Congressman Blake Farenthold and the entire Republican Executive Committee of Cameron County.

Cameron County holds over 3/5 ths of the population of this Congressional District. Please see the attached exhibits. They recognize Mrs. Adela Garza as the quality Republican candidate in this race.
The saying goes "all politics is local," and the unfortunate fact for Ms. Bradshaw and Mr. Vela is that they only recently moved back into Congressional District 34 and can be painted as opportunistic carpetbaggers for this open congressional seat. 

Mrs. Adlea Garza has lived 30 plus years in the district and Cameron County being much like any other county in this State will prefer a local known candidate.
Mrs. Garza is a tough, small businesswoman, who has held and now holds elected office in Cameron County.

For this and many more reasons, I urge you, your family and friends to vote for Adela Garza. She is the only Republican who can win in November, and if we lose this seat to a Democrat in this General Election, we will be looking at a Democrat incumbent for decades, much like Salomon Ortiz and Ruben Hinojosa. 

Early voting is going on at the Courthouse until Friday and the Election Day is July 31, 2012.
