Just when voters though they had heard the last of candidates named Villalobos, there's another one running for office, this time in Kyle, Texas.
This Villalobos is named Alex and he is former Cameron County District Attoney Armando Villalobos's brother, according to one of our seven readers who lives in the area. Alex is running for city council in Kyle. Villalobos, a Texas State University police officer who’s lived in Kyle for 12 years, and Tim McHutchion, who works in the storage industry, will vie for the seat that will be vacated by District 4 council member David Wilson.
He is running, he said, because he is: "Committed to Community and Dedicated to Progress, with integrity and transparency. I want to engage, listen and work together."

In his Facebook page, Villalobos appears with local police officers who are supporting him in his race. Comparing Alex and Armando Villalobos, the resemblance is uncanny.
The election for the Kyle City Commission is Nov. 7 and so far, no one that we know of has pointed out the reported relationship between Alex and Mando.
We're sure that Alex being a peace officer would try to separate his candidacy from any relationship with his brother Armando. The former Cameron County District Attorney was in the middle of a congressional race when he was indicted and convicted convicted on seven counts, including racketeering, bribery and extortion for accepting more than $100,000 from attorneys in exchange for favorable treatment of criminal cases. of crimes involving bribery
He was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
“I tried to bring honor,” said Villalobos, choking back tears shortly before he was sentenced and then also ordered to pay $339,000 in restitution.

Alex Villalobos might want to reconsider – if it's not too late – to delete the word "committed" from his campaign speeches and materials. People might associate the word with "committed" in another sense.
