On a sticky Texas morning, Kimberly Mata-Rubio is lacing up her running shoes ahead of two races she is running in Uvalde in tribute to her daughter Lexi, who was killed in the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting.
First up is a charity run honoring Lexi’s life. Then it’s back to a tougher contest: Campaigning to become mayor of Uvalde, a town still divided after one of America’s deadliest mass shootings and a botched police response that is still under investigation.
“One thing I hear with all of my children, and it echoes my own belief, is that right now Lexi’s legacy is our priority and we just want to honor her with action,” Mata-Rubio said.
i’ve learned first hand that not even the liberals in austin give a rats ass about voter suppression in texas; so she must be doing this for herself because she’s not going to have an impact in uvalde and much less for the rest of the state.
Well if it happened in Austin then it must apply to everyone and everywhere else. Makes perfect sense.
Bullshit. It pisses off the liberals and moderates. Some may have given up and are convinced they can’t do anything to change it, but no one likes it.
