“Keep Rose, Maldonado in Texas House"

“Keep Rose, Maldonado in Texas House” is and article from a recent edition of the Austin American Statesman. The article explains that State Representatives Patrick Rose and Diana Maldonado have been working for our state and also the probabilities of them staying in the Texas House of Representatives. Both are Democrats and are trying to work with voters in Texas. Maldonado as the first Representative discussed.  She is an incumbent from District 52 who has been trying to secure money for higher education, and this gives her better opportunities with the citizens. Rose is a big dreamer who believes in Texas and thinks that Texas can grow even more. The author believes these two candidates are good for the Texas House and believes that they should remain because they have demonstrated that their work and their ideas are important for Texas. I agree with this idea.  Since these two Democrats are really working for the state they should stay longer. The author also talks about the challengers for each incumbent. Maldonado’s opponent Republican Larry Gonzales who is a good candidate but Maldonado has more experience and her background as school board member, and as a veteran agency employee gives her a valuable perspective.  I also agree with this.  It is s going to be hard for the challenger because her background demonstrates to the citizens that she is more interested about people’s needs. Republican Jason Isaac is Rose’s opponent.  He is running his candidacy on the promise to cut taxes.  He has a tough battle because Rose has proven that he is important for the people and that is a very important reason in people’s voting decision. I agree with the author that Representatives Rose and Maldonado should stay in office for more time in order for them to continue their good work and bring even more benefits to the people that have elected them.
