SWEEP OUT BAD POLITICS

Alamo Citizens was formed to address the injustice of elected officials who take care of themselves and their friends rather than do what is best for the citizens of Alamo. We now have the opportunity to make a real change for the better. For years, three Commissioners have controlled the outcome of all the decisions that are made, because three is a majority, and these three vote as a block. Two of these three Commissioners are up for re-election: Mayor Pro-Tem Eleazar Escobedo, Place 1 and Commissioner Robert De La Garza, Place 3. They are opposed by two political newcomers, Molly Gallegos, Place 1 & Nora Barboza, Place 3, who pledge for vote on the behalf of what citizens want and need, rather than what their friends and compadres want.

Alamo Citizens urges you to vote to sweep out the "good old boys" and their bad politics by voting for MOLLY GALLEGOS, Place 1 & NORA BARBOZA, Place 3.
