Thank you Leticia Van De Putte for your endorsement

Ever since I first started helping my father, Leo, with his campaigns, I have become a big admirer of State Senator Leticia Van De Putte.

As a leader of both the Democratic Party and as the chairperson of The Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators, Leticia represents the party's efforts to serve everyone. That's one of the reasons that I decided to run for this judicial position. Leticia's efforts as both a state representative and as a state senator were an inspiration to me.

When I got her endorsement for my campaign last week, I was thrilled because Leticia represents what motivated me to run for this office. As a mother of six, she understands the demands of raising children. As a parent of two young daughters, I am beginning to understand the demands of a family while trying to run my first campaign. Thankfully, like Leticia, I have a husband and other family members who support my campaign.

Thank you, Leticia for your endorsement. It gives me the confidence to follow in your footsteps to serve my community.

Mark your calendar for my next fund raiser.....

Please mark down Feb. 12 on your calendar so you can join me for a fund raiser at the Budda Rok Restaurant, 18630 Blanco Road from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. A suggested donation of $20 is requested. Complimentary appetizers and soft drinks will be served.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to also focus on early voting as Feb. 12 is in the middle of the two-week period where people can cast their votes before the March 2 primary.

As such, I would like this event to serve as a focal point to gather the names of potential voters for the primary. If you can bring at least five if not 10 names of friends or associates to this event, we can program them into our "Get Out The Vote For Rosie" phone banks.

I am hoping that I can count on your contributions as well as the names of people who would vote for me. Every little bit helps, especially having the help of more volunteers.

With football season over, now is the time to help me with block walking

Now that football season is almost over, I am hoping that I can volunteers to help me with block walking Saturday and Sunday.
If you can give a couple of hours, please contact me directly so that I can put you in touch with my campaign staff. As early voting is almost two weeks away, it's important that we engage our voting base so that I can win the March 2 primary.
And, hey, walking is a good form of exercise. With those Super Bowl parties coming up, everyone needs a little extra exercise to work off those nachos and pizza.

I want to thank my enthusiastic supporters who marched with me during Monday's Martin Luther King parade on the city's east side.

Needed: drivers to help transport voters during the early primary voting phase of the upcoming primary

With early voting set to start in just over three weeks, I am asking my campaign volunteers to step up and help get their elderly friends and loved ones to cast their ballots during early voting, Feb. 16 through Feb. 26.

My hopes are to build a base of volunteers who will help drive people to the 27 early voting sites. I am especially targeting Feb. 20, a Saturday, as the best day to get early voters. According to the Bexar County elections office, that Saturday provides early voting from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. In my mind, the extra hours will help get more of our voters out to cast ballots.

Please contact me through this blog if you can help contribute some time to drive elderly campaign supporters during early voting.

Thank you Bexar County Young Democrats for your endorsement

With 33 days until early voting begins for the March 2 Democratic primary, I got a major endorsement from the Bexar County Young Democrats. Having worked with my father, Leo, on his election efforts for the state legislature, I am well aware of the importance of this endorsement.
Again, I want to thank them for their confidence in me as a candidate for the 285th. And, if you are a friend of the campaign who has ties to other political action groups, please reach out to me or to Bruce Kates, my campaign manager so that we can meet with them as well.

Please help my campaign by block walking with me this weekend

With only 35 days left for early voting, I am asking my friends and colleagues to help me block walk this this weekend. We will block walk Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m.

Volunteers can meet me in my office at 9:15 a.m. Saturday and 11:45 a.m. Sunday at my law office, located at 115 Camaron. If you need directions or more information, please call me at 210-365-1998.

As our campaign is now in the home stretch, your efforts will help my electon efforts.

Now that Bexar County has announced its early election dates, now is the time to get the early vote out

Early voting is just a little over a month away, but the Bexar County Elections office has released its early voting locations for those who want to avoid the rush of voting in the joint primary March 2.
Voters can cast their vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary from Feb. 16 to Feb. 26. Hours vary by these date:
Feb. 16 to Feb. 19, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Feb. 20 (the only Saturday to vote early) 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Feb. 21 (the only Sunday to vote early) noon to 6 p.m.
Feb. 22 to 26: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

I am asking my supporters to take advantage of early voting especially for their elderly relatives, friends and colleagues. If we can make the effort to get my supporters to vote for me in the Democratic primary, it can truly help my election efforts.

With the campaign only weeks away, now is the time to add my classic blue and white T-shirt to your regular wardrobe....

As our primary election is only about eight weeks away, I am asking all of my supporters to wear my campaign T-shirt in public. It doesn't matter where you take your shirt. Gyms, weekend shopping or taking the dog for a walk are all good reasons for wearing that distinctive blue and white shirt.

And, if you have friends who could use one of our custom blue and white t-shirts, please let me know.

Note: If you are traveling out of town like my friend, Matt Scherer, please send me a picture to this blog. You can reach out to Matt, my blogger in chief, by sending him those pixes to him at rosieforjudge285@gmail.com. His "Rosie For Judge" picture came from San Juan where he was attending a friend's wedding.
