"Down in McAllen, a GOP candidate was elected mayor. Did I tell you that McAllen is about as Hispanic as they get? It's hard to think of a more Hispanic city in Texas. Nevertheless, Javier Villalobos, a very Hispanic name, shook up the political conversation on the border.
"This is the story:
A newly elected Latino Republican mayor set to represent an 85% Latino town in Texas believes many Latinos are "opening their eyes" after years of supporting Democratic candidates.
"Well, during the past election, it's amazing what happened here in South Texas," said Javier Villalobos, who is set to represent McAllen as mayor. "I think, generally, the Hispanic community is very conservative, yet, traditionally, they voted Democrat. It's amazing what happened this past election. I think our numbers as far as conservative voters were up by substantially. We finally, finally have competition in South Texas. So I think it's going to open up the doors for a lot of people." . . .
