BRADSHAW: "NIEGO SER DE MATAMOROS; NI ME LLAMO PUENTE
---------------------------------------------------------------
<div>By <strong>Juan Montoya</strong><br />With only a few days left before Tuesday's primary elections, at least one of the Republican candidates for the new Congressional District 34 is having serious identity problems.<br />Jessia (Puente?) Bradshaw, in a quarter-page ad that appeared in the local daily states unequivocally that "I do not lie," then goes on to tell some whoppers.<br />In the website "Texans for Jessica," paid for by her campaign committee "Friends of Liberty For Jessica, "her biographical sketch plainly says: "Born in Matamoros, Mexico, Jessica grew up in Brownsville, Texas with her mother and two sisters."<br />Compare that with her ad today under the headline that states that: "Leaders Lead, not Mislead."<br />"I am a Brownsville native and currently live in Brownsville."<br />What are we to believe, that she is Brownsville native or that she was born in Matamoros as her campaign committee (and Jessica herself) attests?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYjzFnKUgqz9MggoTAzDkxrKFnOBs3brXmTUuU00m3hT2yg_a4D-xlogRLYU_hyphenhyphencYTfh7PhEcq0rqXMkDa7pjCRWowHE9Mveo6gOjnb-1UMBsZ_RspJ6BoP7Xwz_r07i4rfLtCcSwlyxQ/s1600/jessica1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 155px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5746516801277077458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYjzFnKUgqz9MggoTAzDkxrKFnOBs3brXmTUuU00m3hT2yg_a4D-xlogRLYU_hyphenhyphencYTfh7PhEcq0rqXMkDa7pjCRWowHE9Mveo6gOjnb-1UMBsZ_RspJ6BoP7Xwz_r07i4rfLtCcSwlyxQ/s320/jessica1.jpg" /></a><br />Could it possibly be that Ms. Bradshaw is ashamed to admit she was born in Matamoros from Mexican parents? Or perhaps she sees her Mexican heritage as a liability in winning votes and wants to hide it from her fellow Republicans?<br />It's obvious that she is handling her own campaign's media offerings. A good public relations person would have had her embrace her heritage and point out the greateness of this county in becoming the melting pot for the best and the brightest from all over the world, Matamoros included. What's wrong with that? Why lie?<br />She then goes to state that "Robinson," one of the names that she used before her marriage to Jonathan Bradshaw, was her "maiden name."<br />Now, we were all under the impression that her maiden name was "Puente," or so her campaign had led us to believe. In fact, she uses the "Puente Bradshaw" moniker on her campaign logo and her literature.<br />So which is it, then?<br />Perhaps Ms. Bradshaw's confusion also extends to her charges that her campaign opponent (Adela) Garza is "running for congress on a campaign full of misinformation and deceit..she has misled voters about me."<br />She, of course, would never do that herself. Right? We all remember some transcripts from a Bradshaw conversation with some supporters where she was recorded saying this about Adela:<br /><em>"I really believe that this candidate all the lies that she's making up. She's overstating her influence. You know like, oh I have connections here, I have connections there...so she has some people thinking that that's the case and I'm telling you right now, it's not true. As a matter of fact she has some very shady business going on where she used some of her influence locally to fire some very good people from some very good positions where they would have helped a lot of minorities...<br /></em>That's not "misinformation and deceit?"<br />Now we have found out as a result of the ad that the reason she was registered to vote both in Travis and Cameron counties was because "Travis County did not cancel my registration as expected."<br />A certain Jessica Robinson (d.o.b. 5-1-74) has two VUIDs:<br />One in Cameron - 1181585157 registered at 44 Calle Duquesa and<br />One in Travis - 1131347027 registered at 12500 Uvalde Creek Dr.<br />And a certain Johnathan Samuel Bradshaw (d.o.b. 5-23-70) also has two VUIDs:<br />One in Cameron - 1181585135 registered at 44 Calle Duquesa and<br />One in Travis - 1131411560 registered at 12500 Uvalde Creek Dr.<br /><br />But she saves the best for last, according to her ad in the paper.<br />She is obviously ignorant of the fact that a majority of local residents elected the majority on the Texas Southmost College board of trustees based on their platform separating the community college mission from the UT System. She says that as a result of Garza's "vote on the UTB-TSC partnership, severely weakened both institutions resulting in 600+ lost jobs in Brownsville and the Valley."<br />Doesn't she realize that it was the UT Regents in Austin who cast the separation vote first before the TSC trustees even considered the matter?<br />The rest of her charges against Garza also ring hollow. Let's take one by one of her "bullets."<br />That Garza "crippled" the Los Fresnos CISD as a trustee by firing a proven superintendent and replacing him with her personal friend as a favor."<br />Now, we were under the impression that it takes a majority of a seven-member board of trustees to make any decision, let alone one as important as replacing a superintendent. Did Garza's vote nullify the other six? That statement indicates Bradshaw's complete lack of knowledge of serving on any public board. In fact, she never has. We'll ascribe that statement to ignorance of board dynamics. The last we heard, the Los Fresnos CISD is alive and well.<br />She states that Garza worked for "Congressman (Blake) Farenthold, her son-in-law's employee," for less than one year" and never handled legislation as she claims."<br />Farenthold, as the elected official, is of course the person entrusted to handle legislation. As far as we know, Garza, in her role as field director in the southern end of the district handles the groundwork which is the foundation for any legislation. That means that Garza, in her capacity and purview, can "handle" legislation.<br />And what does her son-in-law being employed by the congressman have to do with anything? We know David and you don't want to have him as an opponent in a political race. We're sure Ms. Bradshaw will attest to his effectiveness, therefore the slur.<br />As far as who's supporting Garza, well, that is up to each individual. If State Rep. Jose Aliseda, a former popular Bee County Judge, endorsed her over Bradshaw, that is his prerogative. In fact, Aliseda had this to say about her:<br />"Yes, I have endorsed Adela. I did several months ago. I thought she was the best of the three candidates running, mainly because I believe she is the most qualified, she is a conservative, she has been a Republican for a long time, she is currently serving on the College Board of Trustees in the Valley, and we need people that are experienced and that know how to move around in government, and I think she is the one. The other two candidates don't have her experience and qualifications, so that's why I endorsed her..."<br />The interviewer (Bob Price, of Texas GOP Vote) then compared Garza with Bradshaw's approach to representative<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvTxhIxqFLpm2XFT9zhRIq3WsFB9H-Ih28zg-QDeIYi5N_RgCuL9Cfpfw-SoRo07Fnfcdpn2eq_wXwP8jY-NXuyy3AZ7CtjpleNB_xmrevQkEA0b2FAENRXKCyPt86e6ozQR8OadgtcjI/s1600/Garza-Connects-With-People.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 441px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 189px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5746519955533963458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvTxhIxqFLpm2XFT9zhRIq3WsFB9H-Ih28zg-QDeIYi5N_RgCuL9Cfpfw-SoRo07Fnfcdpn2eq_wXwP8jY-NXuyy3AZ7CtjpleNB_xmrevQkEA0b2FAENRXKCyPt86e6ozQR8OadgtcjI/s400/Garza-Connects-With-People.jpg" /></a> government:<br />"Contrast that with one of her opponents(Jessica) , who spent almost the entire evening sitting at her table with her campaign team and hardly speaking with anyone. She then ducked out early, whereas Garza was one of the last to leave and then went on to have more discussions with local leaders about district issues. That is what representation is about."<br /><br /><div>If anything, Ms. Bradshaw's ad is instructive in that her charges against Garza and her denials of her own heritage indicate a very insecure personality who wouldn't think twice of selling her own folks down the river to attain a desired political post.</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-8952245125202710458?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
