Welcome to Our House
Larry was asked by some Democratic SDEC-types to run against Frank Corte in Texas Legislative District 122 about a month ago. He is a Warm Body that has been showing up, working to organize Bexar County Commissioner's Precinct 3, and backing local candidates in local races for a while, and written a few checks to them as well. Although not a Deaniac, he respects Governor Dean trememdously for being a no-nonsense guy who can actually get stuff done, like governing a state, and now organizings Democrats nationally. When Howard said at the national Hispanic Summit a few months back that every race must be run, no seat should be left unchallenged, Larry heard, and took note.
Larry has a biblical mind-set. He knows that God is not a Republican or a Democrat, but he knows that right now, the Democratic Party is more representative of New Testament values than the Republican Party is. He told his family, when asked why he was willing to take this on, "Ecclesiates 3:7. There's a time to be silent, and a time to speak. Now is the time to speak."
So this blog will be our living room, where anybody who wants can come sit down (our coffee table is big enough for a lot of feet) and be heard. Larry plans to do a lot of speaking the truth here, and invites y'all to do the same.
About Larry:
Larry is a 58 year old father and grandfather. He was born and raised in Amarillo and graduated from Tascosa High School in 1966. Larry joined the Marine Corps immediately after graduation and served a total of 30 years in various military components, 20 of them as an Army Medical Service Corps officer. Larry completed a Bachelor of Arts (Summa Cum Laude) degree, and a Master of Public Administration (Summa Cum Laude) degree while on military duty. He was awarded more than two dozen medals and citations, served on two combat deployments and was awarded a Bronze Star and Legion of Merit. He is a credentialed community college instructor in Virginia and California, teaching business and management classes. Larry worked as a mental health case worker (QMHP) for two years and continues to be an advocate for mental health issues. He is married to Diane and they have two children; Faith, married with two children, and Billy, a senior at the International School of the Americas, a magnet school on the Lee High School campus. They have a dog and cat; both rescued. Larry and Diane have been foster parents and hosted many international exchange students since 1981. Larry is employed by the premier trauma center in the region, University Hospital in San Antonio, as the Director of Central Supply. And he is Running against Frank Corte for State Representative in District 122.

I will make your race my number one priority in this election cycle. District 122 needs a sincere and pragmatic gentleman like Larry to help solve the real problems our community faces. I am tired of your opponent's mis-placed priorities.
