Tejano Democrats Endorsed Hillary

The Tejano Democrats, a statewide organization, met and voted over a year ago (unlike some Culinary Union I know) in Austin to overwhelmingly endorse Senator Hillary Clinton in Texas.

“We have known Hillary Clinton for 35 years. Hillary knows Texas, and has worked with our community in our state,” said former State Senator and current Chairman of Tejano Democrats of Texas Gonzalo Barrientos. “She is sensitive to the concerns of the Latino community and is the candidate that will get the job done from day one in the White House. As Tejanos, we are proud to support Hillary Clinton for President.”

Other prominent Texas endorsements for Senator Hillary Clinton include:

Henry Cisneros (prior HUD secretary for President Clinton)
Former Houston Mayor Lee Brown
Houston City Councilwoman Carol Alvarado
State Senator Mario Gallegos Jr. (Galena Park)
Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee (TX18)
Congressmen Henry Cuellar (TX28) and Ruben Hinojosa (TX15)
