THERE'S THAT VICTOR CORTEZ AGAIN! HE'S EVERYWHERE!

 

(Ed.'s Note: The last time someone pointed out Republican Party nominee Victor Cortez, he was peeking through the doors of Pat Ahumada's Sweepstakes salon on the frontage road next to Price Road as the Brownsville Police were escorting the feisty former mayor out the doors. Cortez was part of the join task force so-called "Operation Bishop" that would strike fear into grandmas playing maquinitas all over Cameron County. When the time came down for the arrests of these nefarious wrongdoers, Cortez would be in the thick of it in his trademark small-brimmed white  hat. One of our readers sent us the photo of Cortez and his little white hat at a recent campaign rally for Philip Cowen, a candidate for the Brownsville Independent School District Position 3 seat held by Otis Powers. Other candidates in that race are Argelia Miller, Powers, Josette A. Cruz, and Jorge Valdez. We would expect the secretive (and former DEA agent) Cortez to be at those rallies as well, albeit circumspect and flying below the radar as a good DEA agent would. If you want to report any Cortez-in-the-little-white-hat sightings, send us a photo.)
