City of Brownsville commissioner Pedro Cardenas – a staunch supporter of former Port of Brownsville commissioner Steve Guerra for the nomination for Cameron County judge in the Democratic Party runoff election against incumbent Eddie Treviño – has apparently defected to the Republican candidate for District 34 Erick Flores in his challenge of Democratic District 34 incumbent Vicente Gonzalez.
This, surprisingly, since Guerra has been one of the Democratic congressman's known confidants and political allies in his previous campaigns. Now, in a congressional district gerrymandered by the state to one which Trump won by 10 percent, Gonzalez is depending on Cameron County voters to defeat his Nueces County Republican opponent Flores in November.
Reports indicate that Cardenas has been seen driving around Flores and showing him around and introducing him to people in Brownsville. Does Cardenas have a job with Flores if the Republican wins?
Does that mean that the Guerra "team" – who supported their candidate in his run for the Democratic Party primary against Treviño – will now jump and support Republicans at the county, state and federal level should Treviño defeat Guerra?

Former Cameron County sheriff Erick Garza pulled the same stunt when he lost the Democratic nomination against Manny Treviño and endorsed Jimmy Manrrique, the Republican candidate in November.
Cardenas wouldn't be the only one suddenly exhibiting Republican spots. Remember the Fourth of July rally the Texas Republican District 27 Senator Adam Hinojosa held last year? That's Guerra loyalist and Brownsville entertainment district hustler Turi Treviño sporting his MAGA gimme cap at the time.
Turi likes to say that he wants to build "new traditions" in Brownville. Is seeking political office in one party and then switching when it's convenient one of them?

why are you complaining when youre friend zeke silva turned on democrats to support and work for republican adam hinojosa? pedro is copying zeke the trendsetter.
It is encouraging to observe that certain individuals in this region are finally distancing themselves from the hateful, corrupt party lacking common sense. Go MAGA!
Pedro is not a leader. Only a few losers follow him.
These guys are from the green party as in money
All they seek is wealth
It seems you are the only one who did not know Cardenas is a Republican. Now how about reporting how the majority of Brownsville City Commissioners are Republicans. John Cowen, Tino Villareal, and Linda Macia have all sat with Abbott.
Eric Flores is the way to go! Gonzalez is a crook and even says to support Veterans, so I’m sure he will be voting for Eric Flores!
