(Ed.'s Note: When Marisol, a Hanna High School Early College student took this photo of the campaign worker at the Brownsville Independent School District Main Office, she thought it was just one of the campaign workers paid by candidates to push for them.
Only today, she found out that it wasn't just any paid campaign worker pushing her candidate, but that ti was Prisci Roca-Tipton's mother under the striped umbrella. Later we also found out that her father was working the other entrance of the main building.
We've heard about a mother's love, and this is a clear example of that lofty sentiment. Besides Roca-Tipton, other candidates running include Randy Gonzales, incumbent Joe "Coach" Rodriguez, and Jorge Valdez.
The excitement created by Beto O'Rourke in his run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Ted Cruz is apparently fueling the interest in this election cycle. And that is spilling out into the rest of the races. Below are the early voting results for Monday in the general election, and the early vote in the BISD races by voting sites. (Click to enlarge.)
It's interesting to note that Monday's turnout of 6,875 is about six times as many as the 1,286 votes cast in the March primaries in the county.
By comparison, there were 2,471 votes cast in the first day of the November 2016 early voting period in the BISD to the 2,509 cast Monday, indicating that there is a core number of voters in the district and that the 11 candidates are vying for the same voters.

If you associate O'Rourke with excitement, you lead a pretty humdrum life. You might be mistaking his hyperactivity for actual substance. But you'll find out how wrong that assumption is if enough people are naive enough to vote for him. Can you imagine listening to him rant at 300 words a second for six years--parroting Pelosi/Shumer nonsense about raising taxes and opening the borders? O'Rourke's hometown describes him perfectly--he is el pasó.
O'Rourke is a poor excuse for the Senate with a very questionable past compared to a brilliant Harvard graduate in Ted Cruz i.e. Beto = Ocasio Cortez. A couple of deadbeats!
Yea but your idiot Trump with his past had alot of negatives to say about your brilliant Ted Cruz when running for president you memer you memer.Some of you Republicans are brainwashed about this border issue its a ploy from Republicans to keep Americans of bigger issues don't be so stupid.
The "brilliant Harvard Graduate" was BORN IN CANADA.
Beto is A NATIVE BORN TEXAN.
TEXAS FOR TEXANS. NO PACS ONLY PEOPLE.
I voted for Mrs. Roca-Tipton and ORourke.
God Bless our great TEXAS STATE.
The excitement is to go vote republican as a democrat my party is out of control all they want to do is resist resist resist tired of the bullshit
I keep hearing Beto takes no Pac money, but ACTBLUE does and most of Beto's 30 or 40 million bucks comes from ACTBLUE out of Massachusetts.
So he can say he accepts no PAC money but that does not make it true.
Just go the FEC.GOV
Its the federal elections comission.
BTW ACTBLUE is the slush fund for the Democratic National Committee, they take money from anyone.
I's rather vote for a human than a non-human, specially from canada pendejos through cuba.
Reach out to the WHITE HORSE, I trust him better...
