(Ed.'s Note: Although we, as a practice, don't usually involve ourselves in prom queen and king elections, these young people reached out to us in their bid to win the election to be held Friday at Jubilee-Brownsville. We admire their spunk and self-assertiveness and run this post as a public service announcement to encourage their participation. Good luck to them.)
Special to El Rrun-Rrun
As a 4 year old child Mia stood up in front of a church congregation (Central Christian Church) and asked the congregation for money on her birthday. When she was asked what she was going to do with the money, she stated it wasn't for her. She stated she had all she needed. Her collection would be her way of celebrating her birthday by sending the money in its entirety to St. Jude, a charitable hospital for kids with cancer.
Mia continued to do a little fundraiser every year.
In fact, her community service extends far beyond that and today Mia Barraza is the youngest active member on a City of Brownsville Board (Animal Shelter) and does what she can to encourage friends and family to adopt and not shop for their fur babies! (She is pictured here with District 1 commissioner Bryan L. Martinez in City Chambers.)
Mia is a full time student, an active board member and works part time. Mia loves going to the gym on her spare time. She is a student a Jubilee Brownsville and is grateful to her school for the support she receives from her teachers (special thanks to her law professor Marcos Samano), counselors and administration for their support.
Mia is also excited for running for prom queen with her life-long classmate Ilian,. Both are now in their senior year. We wish both lots of luck in their endeavors. Mia is joining her Prom Campaign as Team B&B. They humbly ask their fellow students for their vote and promise to represent Jubilee with style and grace.

These charters are money milking machines
Apparently this young lady has a a good head on her shoulders and a good heart. Keep up the good work,but please stay away from the "politicos" (ie El Bryan Martinez) for starters. Stay as far away as possible, you don't want to pick up their bad habits and self serving ways!!! Congratulations to this future professional/entrepreneur and congrats to her parents for raising a good kid/young citizen. Good luck with that prom queen gig👸👑

More than 70 years ago, Danny Thomas was a young entertainer with a baby on the way. Work wasn't easy to come by, and his despair grew. He turned to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes, and vowed:
Show me my way in life, and I will build you a shrine.
That prayer marked a pivotal moment. Soon after, he began finding work, eventually becoming one of the biggest stars of radio, film and television in his day. He was on Make Room for Daddy, later known as The Danny Thomas Show.
Danny used his fame to fulfill his vow and to change the lives of thousands of children and families. In 1962, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital opened in front of a crowd of 9,000 in Memphis, Tenn.
why are we paying the Brownsville Irrigation District. The Districts primary operation is to provide irrigation and farmland drainage. I live inside the city limits so why are they taxing me? there is no farm land near me nor any place within the city limits. ANOTHER TAX
PROPERTY OWNER TIRED OF BEING TAXED!!
why am I being billed for taxes owed to the water district? I live inside the city limits since 1980. I have never seen any farm lands no where near nor inside the brownsville city limits. are we supporting the rich farmers in this area? why? they can go look for jobs to make a living but not tax us. where does all this monies go to?
THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED NOW!!!
