TEXAS ENTREPRENEUR MAURO GARZA

ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR U.S. CONGRESS

Raymondville, TX – Today, Texas Entrepreneur, Fmr. Instructor at Alamo Community College District (ACCD), Board member of various Republican organizations, and 51-time marathon runner, Mauro Garza, has announced his candidacy for Congress to represent Texas’ 34th Congressional District.

Mauro’s career began with the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (TCADA) in Austin, Texas in 1991. After serving as an adjunct faculty member at ACCD, his service as Director of Grants and Contracts Management at SFBR, presently known as Texas Biomedical Research Institute (TBRI), was instrumental in establishing the Southwest Primate Research Center, which was instrumental in bringing millions in funding to San Antonio. Since then, Mauro has launched multiple successful businesses in Texas.

Garza’s campaign launch video can be viewed here.

Garza shared the following statement:

“In my hometown of Raymondville, where my family settled down after my father left the Navy, I used to swim in the ditches. His service to keep our nation free and prosperous inspired me to never take my liberties for granted, and I pursued the American Dream.

Now, that promise of America’s legacy in Southern Texas is threatened by the poisonous existence of fentanyl in our communities, prompting families to move out while foreign criminals feel welcome to claim the turf as theirs.

Our Texas values are being trampled upon by a careless elite and government that turns a blind eye to our border, while acting oblivious to the consequences of such actions.

I’m taking a stand to rekindle the battle cry of my lifelong home, the Lone Star State: Don’t Mess With Texas. As a Congressman representing Texas’ 34th District, foreign cartels and self-serving politicians will recognize that the Gateway to the Valley belongs to Texans.”
