DeeDee Garcia, would make an awesome first lady for the City of Houston. Just last month, DeeDee and her husband Gilbert Garcia wrote a huge check to the Corpus Christi Catholic Church, to help them out during these challenging times. "Father Tom is a true Treasure," says Gilbert. DeeDee and Gilbert Garcia were the lead donors with their $500,000 pledge to the church's capital campaign. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a first family, every Houstonian could be proud of, representing the Bayou City?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS
I received an email last week from Foston International, highlighting Gilbert Garcia's long-awaited announcement, that he is indeed running for Mayor of Houston, Texas, on Tuesday, November 7, 2023. But I found it very interesting that four days before Gilbert Garcia announced his candidacy, another Latino by the name of Julian Martinez, jumped into the race for mayor. That being said, with term-limited councilman Robert Gallegos, and now, Julian Martinez, jumping into the race "VOTER EDUCATION" is going to be of the utmost importance in Black and Brown communities between now, and the start of "Early Voting" which begins on Monday, October 23, 2023, and will end on Friday, November 3, 2023, in the Bayou City.
"VOTER EDUCATION."
Mayoral Elections are low-voter turnout elections, so every vote cast in "MAYORAL ELECTIONS" carries a tremendous amount of weight. One of the things I've already noticed is that Julian Martinez, has selected what's called the "MODIFIED REPORTING" method, which means that he does not intend to accept more than $1,010 in political contributions or make more than $1,010, in political expenditures, while running for Mayor of Houston, Texas. So, why is this guy who ran as a Republican candidate for U.S. Congress, for the 9th Congressional District of Texas back on Tuesday, March 3, 2020, and only received 1,809 votes, running for Mayor and not planning to spend any money? Is it possible that he (or someone else) is trying to confuse Hispanic voters, by placing multiple candidates with Hispanic surnames on the ballot?
"THE FILING PERIOD."
As it stands right now, there are more Latinos planning to run for public office than the city of Houston has ever seen in a municipal election. However, some of the potential candidates may decide not to run, or to switch races, during the actual filing period, which opens on Saturday, July 22, 2023, and close on Monday, August 21, 2023.
"LATINO CANDIDATES."
There's still a lot of time left for candidates can officially sign up to have their names placed on the Tuesday, November 7, 2023, general election ballot. However, as it stands right now, we have more Latinos planning to run for office in a "CITY OF HOUSTON MAYORAL ELECTION" than we've ever before. Right now, Conchita Reyes, Cynthia Ryes-Revilla, Gilbert Garcia, Ivan Sanchez, Janette Garza Linder, Joaquin Martinez, Julian Ramirez, Mario Castillo, Patricia Olivares, Ralph "Rafa" Garcia, Richard Cantu, Robert Gallegos, Roy Morales, and Sonia Rivera.

Gilbert Garcia Is Running for Mayor of Houston, Texas
The “Texas Bond King” Has Big Plans for Houston
- PRESS RELEASE -
Houston, TX (March 14, 2023) - The “Texas Bond King”, Gilbert Garcia, is running for Mayor. After graduating from Yale with a B.A. in Economics in 1985, Mr. Garcia began his career in finance by joining the Salomon Brothers in New York City. In 1990, he moved to Houston to join former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros in building Cisneros Asset Management Company, ultimately becoming its President. Then in 2002, Mr. Garcia joined Garcia Hamilton & Associates where he eventually became Managing Partner, growing total assets under management from $200 million to $21 billion.
While Garcia has not run for office before, he has had his fair share of experience with public service. In 2009, Garcia had the opportunity to be Mayor Annise Parker’s campaign chairperson. After she won, Parker named Garcia as the chair of METRO.
Before Gilbert Garcia took over METRO, the organization was in a very difficult place. Garcia took over and “methodically” helped rebuild the public’s trust by making great improvements to the City of Houston’s public transportation system. In 2015 Mr. Garcia and the rest of the METRO team’s great work was recognized and received the APTA Award for Outstanding Public Transportation System Achievement in North America. “I cannot thank Annise Parker enough for entrusting me with such an incredible opportunity as well as surrounding me with a great board and an excellent METRO staff”, says Garcia.
Garcia has voiced that a “shake-up” is needed at Houston’s City Hall. From a federal investigation into Houston’s Health Department, issues surrounding pay disputes with firefighters, to an impending state takeover of HISD, Garcia says he is the right candidate to tackle these issues. With a looming recession and COVID relief money ending, Garcia has also discussed financial initiatives he will spearhead to help improve the city’s financial stability.
"A true leader takes care of the present but acts now for the future as well."
