O'Rourke talks grid, election in visit to Laredo
On Thursday night, Texas Gubernatorial Candidate Beto O’Rourke visited Laredo’s La Bombonera at 2320 Jacaman Rd. to speak with voters about his campaign and also about how he would handle the problems with the state’s electrical grid.
The visit by O’Rourke was his third to the city since he launched his campaign for governor last November and comes a few days after the latest winter storm weather hit the area. Prior to speaking to voters of the city, he spoke to LMT about his campaign and the electrical grid.
“I’m returning for this visit to Laredo for this campaign that is less than three months old, as this city is so important for the future of the state,” O’Rourke said. “I want to make sure that I continue to come back to earn the votes of the people of Laredo, and I am interested in everyone — Republicans, Independents, Democrats, everybody.
“I want to make sure that we are focused on the big things that I hear the people of Laredo talking about that we want to do better. (I want to talk about creating) more jobs and improving our schools, and the way we treat educators and school teachers, and do common-sense things like expand Medicaid so more people can see a doctor, more people can go to school, go to work and raise their families.”
