BRAVING COLD TEMPS, CINDY SUPPORTERS ATTEND KICKOFF

(Ed.'s Note: The wind chill factor at about 5 p.m. Tuesday felt like it was in the mid-30s, and those attending  JP 2-1Cindy Hinojosa's campaign kickoff were all bundled up, a strange thing when the temperatures during the Charro Days fiesta only days earlier hovered in the mid-70s. But that deter her supporters from attending her campaign kickoff for the 2020 Democratic party primary. Political activists from throughout the county were visible in the crowd which included her mother Pct. 1 county commissioner Sofie Benavides visible in the foreground in the bottom photo.

And that is her husband, former Cameron County Judge and current Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa in the middle photo addressing the crowd and supporting her candidacy. The former county judge pointed to the large number of women across the country who were elected in the last general election and said that the night before he had been in an Austin Democratic Party event which US. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi had attended.  

Cindy Hinojosa knows she has her work cut out for her going up against 16-year incumbent Linda Salazar, and this early start of the campaign is an indication that she does.  One other candidate, Fred Arias, has announced his intention to run for the position. 

Numerous elected officials were on hand inclding some who had supported Salazar in the past as were a pastor who delivered the invocation and a mariachi who warmed up the crowd. In the picture below, Hinojosa, second from right with her back to the camera, greeted well wishers.)

Your Fired said Janus Trump to the jail guard, who replied, that the show is over. Trump is mad to think he could run the government like he did the apprentice. He will be seeing Armando Villalobos soon.

Trump could pardon Armando Villalobos before he gets locked up himself.
