"The McHale Report is endorsing incumbent Rene Oliveira for Texas State Representative. This is a no-brainer. This is a slam-dunk. This is about Brownsville.
Oliveira has the experience and expertise that would take his foe years to accumulate. As the fifth-ranking member in the State House of Representatives, Oliveira has clout. He has respect. His foe would be ranked 150th and we have no doubts that those Republicans rednecks would have about as much respect for him as they do for an undocumented gardener or maid.
Oliveira is a Brownsville boy and he takes care of Brownsville people without ignoring the needs of his constituents in Rio Hondo, Los Fresnos, Port Isabel, South Padre Island the other smaller communities and hamlets that are a part of his district."
AFTER 34 YEARS OF RENE OLIVEIRA, THIS IS WHAT BROWNSVILLE AND DISTRICT 37 FAMILIES HAVE TODAY:
*Number of people with less than high school education is 40,134, or about 41.7 percent compared to the statewide average of 18.4 percent.
*Persons in poverty numbered 65,090, or 39.1 percent compared to the statewide average of 7.7 percent.
*Likewise, per capita income was $13,416 compared to the statewide average of $26,513.
1. Tom Craddick, Amarillo $32,938 10.9 percent in poverty
2. Sephonia Thompson , Houston $15,742 27.8 percent in poverty
3. Harold Dutton, Houston, $19,867 24.5 percent in poverty
4. John Smithee, Amarillo, $27,603 12.4 percent in poverty
5. Oliveira, Brownsville (SPI), $13,416 39.1 percent in poverty
Yet, he is asking for another two years to "finish" the job. Hasn't he done "enough?"
The rest are from industry and special-interest PACs and lobbyists.

THIS TALK OF "SENIORITY" HAS GOTTEN OLD.
He boasts of ranking fifth in seniority in the Legislature. This is how his district ranks on family income with the other four:1. Tom Craddick, Amarillo $32,938 10.9 percent in poverty
2. Sephonia Thompson , Houston $15,742 27.8 percent in poverty
3. Harold Dutton, Houston, $19,867 24.5 percent in poverty

BUT MCAHLE, THE PACS, AND LOBBYISTS LOVE RENE
Out of 108 campaign contributors to his campaign from June 2017 to January 25, 2018, only three are from individuals living in his Brownsville district.
The rest are from industry and special-interest PACs and lobbyists.
And of the $162,163 in total cash donations to keep their boy in the state house, only $2,050 came from contributors from Brownsville, with $1,000 of that from his law firm of Roerig, Oliveira & Fisher, LLP, Brownsville. And yet, Oliveira says he's from here and that he represents Brownsville, or does he?
The contributions from people from Brownsville are just 1.26 percent of the total. A full 98.74 percent came from PACs and special interests outside of District 37.
This special interest money is buying Rene's vote to keep things just the way they are. McHale got his $500 and a peda. Look what we got. Haven't we had enough?
VOTE ALEX DOMINGUEZ: IT'S CHANGE OUR FAMILIES CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT!
