How long has Cris Valadez, the administrative assistant for former GOP Texas Secretary of State and former Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos, been flying under the radar supporting Democratic State Rep. Rene Oliveira against challenger Cameron County Pct. 2 commissioner Alex Dominguez?
It's hard to tell how long Valadez – who also goes by the name of his alter ego also called Maclovio O'Malley on Jerry McHale's blog – has been on the take, but this time the Oliveira campaign felt obligated to list him on their campaign expenditure report. (Click on graphic to enlarge.)
(That's Valadez joshing with convicted former Cameron County District Attorney Armando Villalobos, one of his most notable guests on his radio show before Mando was sentenced to 7 years in prison for bribery and corruption.)
But does anyone really believe that Cris would submit to the pedestrian task of taking poseras out in the South Texas sun and installing Rene's campaign signs as is stated on the campaign report? On the day of the $500 expenditure, the U.S. Weather Service says the temperature reached 88 degrees. Add the humidity and we get a heat index past the mid 90s.His dermatologist would be the first to object, we're sure.
Of course, the runoff between Oliveira and Dominguez is among both Democrats with no Republican candidate in the general election in November.
So Cascos can honestly say que no tiene vela en este velorio.
But the fact that Valadez is closely associated with the former county judge and current Republican candidate for county judge in November against Eddie Treviño may result in some negative consequences for Cascos from those traditional Democratic voters who crossed over in his past races to support him.In fact, someone pointed out that it was Valadez who was egging former county judge candidate Robert Sanchez to run against Treviño and to publicly engage Oliveira in Austin. Did Sanchez know Cris would side with Oliveira in the end?
There were 3,295 votes cast for challengers Dominguez and Arturo Alonso against 3,096 for Oliveria in the primary in March. The Cascos formula is to get at least 22 percent of the Democratic vote to win in November. But it is not a given that all the Democrats who vote for Oliveira will cross party lines to vote for Cascos.
The voters who support Dominguez (all Democrats) will probably not be pleased to know Cascos' allowed his assistant to work for Oliveira against their guy.
The address on the campaign report lists Valadez's address as 630 E. Price. That's the address for St. Joseph's Water, the Valadez's family business.
As they say, politics makes strange bedfellows. In this case, no one believed that Valadez was playing under the sheets with Rene. Go figure.

Isn't Valdez the number one amigo of captain Bob Sanchez, who he talks to every day.
Valadez is a political prostitute. He'll bend over for any elected official. As they say, "Tiene culo amplio." LOL
I for one am waiting for the comments from Bob Sanchez over his two faced mate, talk about sleeping with the enamy, first MCHALE, Now VALDEZ. Must be the shrimp.
I guess I will be voting for Judge Trwvino in November because of this disturbing development
Judge Trevino has my full support. I'm good for 3700 votes. Vote for Alex Dominguez Tuesday and in November vote for Eddie Trevino.
Valadez played Capt. Bob like a cheap violin. Sanchez is a fool to believe that Valadez is his friend. But Cris was pretty pissed when Sanchez told Duardo's Blog that Cris' wife had a nice body but an ugly face. OUCH!!!
Why didn't Carlos Cascos run for a state office ?
As former secretary of state you would think Carlos Cascos would've run for a state office . He could have ran for State Rep or gone big and take a stab at Congress . Why didn't the strongest republican candidate in Cameron county step up for his people ?
Carlos Cascos is an opportunist !
Carlos believes that the county judge race is a race he has the best shot of winning . Cascos is comfortable running for his old job and couldn't care less about improving Cameron county . Carlos Cascos is so comfortable , he's using his recycled campaign material and strategies . No new ideas , no honor , No way I'm voting for "Comfortable" Cascos !
- ED
It seems like you breed Scumbag traitors MCHALE NOW VALDEZ now the Black Mamba Rene Oliveira.
I really don't care about Olivera , but one thing i will say Valadez is my friend if ask me support in anything he run's for he has my vote always .
What a sad ending to such a wonderful friendship
Why bother to vote? Waste of time. Besides, most of the current politicians walk around like Gods any way, how can you get them to do anything?
It is all about the money The Scumbag Rene Oliveira has sold his soal for money and women, and will turn on his own family for money and sex.
Rene knows all the prostitutes in Cameron County....political whores and just whores. Now it would seem that Cascos needs to "pay to play"....not too confident that the Democrats have his back....so he decides to play with the scum of the local political world. Guess honor is gone from the Cascos campaign. Never was in honor with Rene and fellow scumbags. Maybe this means vote against both!!!!
Why didn't Carlos Cascos run for a state office ?
Wrong grasshopper The racist republican part WILL NEVER for for an ethic candidate here in Texas. He is not stupid just look what happen to the other pendejo tony garza. Ran and lost just like many other pendejos que se creen gringos..
Tony Garza went on to become US Ambassador to Mexico. He is very successful international lawyer. He leads the NAFTA talks. Who ever you are you could never aspire to be a Tony Garza. By all accounts he is a complete success story from the LRGV

Captain Bob it seems like you have been deserted all ways, your wife, MCHALE now VALDEZ, they all have chosen the silver over the fish. Now only time will tell.
I THINK CASCOS PISSED OFF THE GOVERNATOR AND THAT'S WHY HE IS NO LONGER WORKING IN AUSTIN?????? IT IS BELIEVED THAT CASCOS AS CHILD AND HIS SIBLINGS WERE BROUGHT TO THE BROWNSVILLE AREA BY HIS FATHER AND MOTHER. THEY HAD NO WHERE TO SAY, NO MONEY, HIS FATHER DID NOT HAVE A JOB EITHER. SO ONE DAY A FORMER COUNTY DEMOCRAT COMMISSIONER SAW THAT THEY WERE IN NEED OF A PLACE TO STAY TEMPORAY SO HE FOUND A PLACE FOR CARLOS CASCOS' FATHER AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY. EVENUALLY THE COMMISSIONER GAVE CARLOS' FATHER HECTOR A JOB WITH THE COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC ACCOUNTNG OFFICE WORKING AS ACCOUNTANT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A VERY BEAUIFUL RELATIONSHIP ALWAYS SUPPORTING THIS COMMISSIOER DURING HIS RACES FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE FOR HIS FAMILY, UNTIL ONE DAY CARLOS' FATHER BETRAYED THIS COMMISIONER AND SUPORTED ANOTHER PERSON RUNNING FOR THE SAME COMMISSIONER'S SPOT!!!! GUESS WHO...JOHNNY CAVAZOS!!!!! THIS COMMISSIOER WAS SEROUSLY HURT BY WHAT CARLOS' FATHER DID, THE COMMISSIONER DID LOSE THAT RACE THAT YEAR. NEVER AGAIN DID THIS COMMISSIONER RUN AGAIN AFTER MANY YEARS OF SERVING THE PEOPLE THERE AS COMMISSIOER BECAUSE OF THE BACK STABBING PEOPLE HE HELPED OUT. THAT WHY THIS COUNTY IS SO CORUPTED BY SO MANY BACK STABBING PEOPLE...I TRY DO MY BEST BY VOTING FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO HAS OUR INTEREST BUT THE SAME TRASH GETS VOTED IN AGAIN/AGAIN???? I DON'T NOW FOR A FACT IF HE AND HIS FAMILY ARE FROM MEXICO BUT I DO KNOW TALKING TO OLD FAMILY FROM BROWNSVILLE THAT KNEW THE CASCOS FAMILY... EVENTUALLY HIS FATHER OPENNED AN ACCOUNTING OFFICE TOOOO. LOOK NO FURTHER, LOOK DOWN AT 7TH STREET IN BROWNSVILLE AND YOU'LL FIND AN ACCOUNTING FIRM WITH THE SAME NAME TODAY????
OH, AND BY THE WAY, THIS GUY AS A COUNTY COMMISSIOER AND COUNTY JUDGE HE NEVER SUPPORTED CIVIL SERVICE FOR COUNTY EMPPLOYEES.....THAT'S ON THE RECORD!!!!
Dude, put the bottle down.
If he pissed off the governor why is the governor wanting Cascos to speak on the his behalf at events to this day?
And why bring up a deceased man other than the fact that he can’t tell his side of the story? Is it because of the fact that Cascos is one of the only people who repeatedly was elected and served and is free of scandal? No ethics issues, not a single credible claim against his character or performance other than he didn’t give special treatment to certain groups demanding raises. Because that’s what you mean by “support”: more taxpayer money for certain people.
He was always consistent that either everybody gets a raise or nobody does. And as I recall others also voted against the raises on the court. And county employees did eventually get raises. He was also the one who spoke against elected officials getting raises for themselves because they knew what the salary was when they ran for office. He as county judge made less than the sheriff who repeatedly wanted more money every time. So the best you can do is gossip about his dead father which is not even relevant? How pathetic.
Bob, you shouldn’t be knocking Rene for knowing whores considering you were married to his fiancée and you’re not exactly shacked up with quality merchandise yourself. How does she feel about your obsession with your ex? Or is you bankrolling the party favors enough to have her look the other way?
Captain Bob I like the shrimp, it is not true, he bought water from us. Believe me I love your SHRIMP.
The only thing you’re good for is being the “after” picture on those anti-drug ads they show to kids to discourage them from experimenting.
Who Captain Bob supports is the same guy he wrote multiple posts about just months ago being a crook, a schemer, a liar, and a rat.
Yet, he wants him to be your County Judge.

A few gems from Ensign Bob about Eddie Treviño, who Bob is now supporting:
“During the Abel Limas trial, Mr. Limas declared under oath during his trial that he took a bribe from Eddie Trevino in exchange for ad litem cases.”
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I have covered bits of Mr. Trevino’s political career. The voters will be making a big mistake if he is voted in again.”
“He speer(sic)headed a salary increase for all the jailers at the County jail. Close to 300 of them. There were no raises for all other County employees. Why did Mr. Trevino do this? I’ll tell you why he did it. It’s because he campaigns with tax payer’s money. The Sheriff Department jailers have the most employees than any other section of Cameron County government. Eddie Trevino did this for votes.”
“Mr. Trevino is always about money for himself. Him first, and the citizens after. When he was Mayor and on the PUB Board, he wanted to SELL PUB because the PUB was in the red. I and other Board Members stopped the sale, implemented cost saving measures, and the PUB became financially strong again. PUB was not sold to one of Mr. Trevino’s friends and also a campaign donor of his. Then, Mr. Trevino jumps into the PUB as counsel and begins billing the PUB close to one million dollars per year while he was Cameron County Judge.”
“Eddie Treviño has always pushed the envelope in ways to abuse the trust of the voters. Doing the right thing is almost impossible for Eddie Trevino as it relates to public service ladies and gentlemen.”

Ha!Ha!Ha! Looks like Captain Bob and Valadez are having a break-up spat! Par de mensos. You deserve each other .
Playing him is like playing the kazoo. It takes no special skill set.
Unfortunately the Dumbocrats of Cameroon County will mindlessly goose-step to the polls en masse to elect Eddie due to the bad behavior of others and for what is happening in Washington.
Cris Valadez is no worse than the rest of the politicos in this godforsaken corner of the world, and probably better than most!
