You are getting a scoop. My brother Victor Morales(Dem nominee for US Senate in 1996) may run in the 28th district and just may announce soon. He has been talking to folks and speaking in schools,walking the neighborhoods, and talking to district folks since summer of this year gauging support for a possible candidacy. All under the radar. He already has the signatures to put his name on the ballot. Remember, he is from Pleasanton in Atascosa county where most of our relatives still live. He taught school in Cotulla, Poteet and attended school at San Antonio college and graduated from Texas A & I Kingsville. He still is known throughout the South Texas area either by name, face or the little white truck, which by the way is one of the first things ordinary folks ask about.(Still has it.) If you have ever heard Victor speak, you would know that he can run rings around Cuellar, Ciro or Raymond. He also connects to the everday working man far better that the others. As I stated, he has already been speaking in Laredo, Pearsall, Dilley, Poteet, Pleasanton, Kyle, San Marcos, Buda, Seguin, Floresville, Jourdanton, and to people on the south side of San Antonio where his son lives.(All in the 28th dist) His daughter now attends UT Austin so he probably will move into the district soon.
Senator Cornyn has been trying to get Victor to switch to the Repubs since he was elected but Victor won't do it. By the way, he is a Navy vet, having spent a little time in Viet Nam waters during the Nam war. Vets need a voice from South Texas who has actually served, which the other 3 have not. Since he has been an educator for more than 25 years he can also speak more clearly on education issues. More later.
