Juan Garcia and Fredericksburg

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

One of the things that I have been meaning to post on but have not heard of any other news that had otherwise reminded me to do so, was a short report on Juan Garcia's visit to Fredericksburg during the Gillespie County July 4th Parade last month, where he appeared on the County Democratic Party's float. A short note from my County Chair George Keller...

Juan is outstanding as well as his wife and family. They both have just joined law firms in Corpus Christi and he remains a Naval Reserve pilot. He is planning to run when the right situation presents it self.

I have a picture in the extended entry but other comments have followed in the same vein as I have heard on other state blogs. He's charismatic, a great speaker, and should take a stab at running for office. I would hope that it is something higher than a county level office down there on the Coast, as it would be awesome to see him run for maybe Lt. Governor. But even a state house seat would be great.

Lieutenant Commander for Lieutenant Governor has a nice ring to it though...

I had the pleasure of spending some time with the Lt. Cdr. during the DNC Hispanic Leadership Summit. Juan Garcia is the real deal. Like you, I hope he aims high when he does run.

How about replacing Solomon Ortiz in Congress? Just wishful thinking. . .

Hmm, this could be a chance to put these ideas on Step Up Texas.

I would suggest Juan Garcia tackle Rep. Gene Seaman's seat if he wants a trial run for office. Congressman Ortiz is fine right where he is. Many of us are very happy with the Congressman!
