Integrity * Common Sense * Conservative Values
I was born in a suburb of Havana, Cuba called Mariano. When I was 9 years old, my family fled from Cuba to escape the communist dictator Fidel Castro. We left in the middle of the night on a small vessel in the heart of the Gulf storm season. The U.S. Navy and the Coast Guard stayed with our vessel throughout the night breaking the stormy waves. Once we reached U.S. soil, we were given residency in the United States. My dad worked three jobs, and our family of four settled into a one bedroom apartment. Here in America we had rights. And, the Government did not control your every day life. Here, there was no socialized health care, education, and transportation. Here, you could be responsible for your own success or failure. In my particular race, I am the only candidate who began their legal career as a law clerk in the 308th Family District Court; tried bench and jury trials on every family law issue; named Texas Monthly Magazine's Super Lawyers, Texas Rising Stars in 2004 and 2005 in the area of Family Law as voted by my peers; served as a court appointed attorney in all family law courts; represented private clients in complex custody and property issues; and served as a Family Law Mediator. I am married and have three children. I am a Christian and a member of Faith Lutheran Church. I am a parent volunteer at my children’s school and very active with their extra curricular activities and daily routines. I have volunteered at the YMCA and coached in the Bellaire Little League system. Additionally, I am fluent in English and Spanish. I am running for office to give back to this great country that has been so good to my family. When I am elected, I will be successful because of my work ethic and understanding of the law. My responsibility is to work hard and make sure cases in the 308th Family District Court are being handled timely and justly to avoid government waste of tax dollars or waste of the jury’s time. Finally, I am the best, strongest, most publicly funded candidate to re-energize the GOP and take back Harris County in the November 2010 election.
