Welcome Message From South Texas Republicans

Thanks to all of you who are forwarding our newsletters to your friends, family members and business associates. Please continue to help us spread our message to new voters. Try this today: Send this newsletter to small business owners who are not politically active. Encourage them to get involved. Ask them to sign up at SouthTexasRepublicans.com.

Note to our readers who are conservative and independent Democrats:  We seek your support for our judges this November. There are many great candidates and officials on our side of the aisle. Give them a shot; they want to earn your independent vote this November. Keep an open mind as you read this newsletter
 
Diane M. Rivera For 45th District Court Judge (Bexar County)

South Texas Republicans will be introducing you to new candidates for office in the next few months. We will provide biographical information that is usually not provided in the typical “push card.” 

Mrs. Rivera will be challenging Democrat Judge Barbara Hanson Nellermoe in November. There is no challenger in the Republican primary.  4 years ago, Barbara Nellermoe defeated Republican Wade Shelton in a race that should have been taken by our party. That was one sad night because we also lost the brilliant Jeff Mulliner to a local Democrat.

Friends, our judges and our judicial candidates need our help. We cannot depend on direct mail and fancy billboards to bail out our candidates. It is going to take a strong grassroots efforts to help push our judges over the top in this evenly split county. It is up to us.  L

Diane Rivera is a candidate who is new to the political game we are familiar with. As you can see, she has been busy over the years serving this community. We encourage you to introduce her to your friends, family members and business associates. Give her a $20 donation if you can spare it. Host a little “Meet and Greet” in your home for her. 

Running for office is not an easy process. Our Republican candidates and officials sacrifice so much to serve us as public servants. Let’s step it up for them. Find small ways to help. This lady is worthy of your support.

Schuylar Crist skyskyrider@hotmail.com will forward your e-mails to Diane Rivera, upon request.

“You can do what you want to do, accomplish what you want to accomplish, attain any reasonable objective you may have in mind….Not all of a sudden, perhaps, not in one swift and sweeping act of achievement….But you can do it gradually- day by day and play by play, - if you want to do it, if you will to do it, if you work to do it, over a sufficiently long period of time.”                     - William E.

"Government Really Does Not Solve Problems..." By Ronald Reagan, 40th President Of The United States

“For one thing government’s record is not all that good. In the 1960s, government declared war on poverty. Poverty won.”

“When government sets out to solve a problem, the cure may not be worse than the disease. But it is bigger and it costs more. Government does not really solve problems; it subsidizes them. And it does not produce a dime of revenue. It can only spend only what it first takes from the pockets of the working men and women of this country.”

- Ronald Reagan, 1973, “How our System Works”

A Word About Tracy Wolff Of The Hidalgo Foundation Of Bexar County

[Warning:  Friends, we are not going soft on Democrats based on this commentary.  We are still proud members of the “vast right wing conspiracy” so beloved by Senator Hillary Clinton.  Tracy Wolff is married to Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, a longtime Democrat.]

Last week, we had an opportunity to visit “The Children’s Court” at the Bexar Courthouse. Tracy Wolff is the President of the Hidalgo Foundation of Bexar County. This organization, under her leadership, has done an incredible job with this floor of the historic courthouse. The highlights of this court include: “Supervised and child-friendly educational waiting room where children can socialize, get homework help, create craft projects, read, have snacks” and “Two technologically advanced courtrooms/hearing rooms.” A bipartisan group of judges was also instrumental in this major project.

 

South Texas is really blessed to have the leadership of this intelligent and classy lady. What she has done to help facilitate the birth and development of the “Children’s Court” is simply outstanding. We commend her and all of her accomplishments.

"The Republicrat" (A Moderate Viewpoint)

This is a new series by an anonymous political insider in Bexar County. The views of this author do not represent the views of South Texas Republicans. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  A prominent Bexar County Democrat asked us if we were “bugging” them for this internal information.  Now that would be really exciting!!!  We just have a great source who is writing for us.  Enjoy!!

Now that it has been settled that Justice of the Peace Albert McKnight is still on the ballot, the race is escalating once again. The momentum is slowly building in favor of Judge Linda Penn who substituted for McKnight on the bench during his legal battles. It is way too early to determine if McKnight’s legal woes will be his undoing or not. McKnight’s deletion off the ballot and subsequent reinstatement may actually work to his benefit.

Penn’s use of a Republican as a campaign manager is sending up red flags with Democrats. Apparently the Republicans are taking a page out of the Democrats’ playbook.

There seems to be some blurring and unusual coziness between parties lately. Not only has Penn recruited a Republican for her race, apparently the Republican candidate for the 118th State Rep. Race, George Antuna, has done likewise with the possible addition of Christian Archer, special assistant to the Democratic Mayor Phil Hardberger.

It was not that long ago that former Bexar County Democratic Chair Gabe Quintanilla openly endorsed Republican Susan Reed for District Attorney. Then there is former Republican Party Chair Roy Barrera supporting Democrat Dan Pozza for the 4th Court of Appeals. Apparently we can get along!

Although the local AFL-CIO Labor Council recently refused to endorse County Commissioner, Precinct 2, Paul Elizondo during their public forum because the Bexar County Sheriff’s Deputies blocked it, the Service Employees Union (SEIU) did endorse him at their candidates forum.

SEIU represents City and County employees who are no longer affiliated with the Labor Council, and are now realigned with the Teamsters and Food Handlers.

As time goes on and gets closer to the joint primary, it is obvious that Republicans will be closely watching to see if any Democrats go postal on each other. It could still happen as temperatures rise.

Democrats are hoping that will happen in the Republican primary, but that appears to be wishful thinking at best for the Democrats. Those races that are hotly contested on the Southside most likely will be the ones where a candidate goes postal after suffering major personal attacks on his character

The contest for the 118th State Rep. race is the race to watch. Firefighter John Lujan, running as a Republican, is unofficially supported by much of labor. While labor does not ordinarily endorse Republicans, it does on rare occasion.

Word is that if Lujan makes the Republican run off, he will secure the labor endorsement over any one of the four Democrats who all failed in their bid to get labor’s support. If Lujan succeeds in winning that endorsement, he might be the first Republican to win that seat.

This past week even Express-News columnist Ken Rodriguez wrote about the possibility of a Republican taking the seat in the 118th. If you have been reading this column for the past five weeks you may recall Rodriguez’s analysis of the race mirrors much of what I have shared with you.

Weeks ago I stated that Farias was well known but not well liked, but the strongest candidate for the Democrats. I also said that Salyer and Ricketts would be the first to go in a run-off because they were Anglo. Rodriguez believes that Republicans won’t choose a Hispanic in that race. As a long-time Southsider, I disagree. I still think Antuna is the odds on favorite to win the Republican nod and will face Farias in November. Only time will tell.

That’s the moderate viewpoint. I am the Republicrat.
