Let's take a look at what Aaron did this past session. Here is a list of projects I copied and paste from his site.
District Projects:
$5,000,000 to fund the RAHC in Edinburg (see HB1375 above); Article III, page 156
Numbers here for the RAC are wrong. Edinburg gets 2 in a half million and Harlingen gets 2 in a half million.
$3,000,000 for construction of Substance Abuse Facility, Edinburg; Art. II, page 63
This was brought in for Aaron Pena's son who died of an overdose. Cause he was renting an apartment at the age of 16.
$750,000 in funds for Museum of South Texas History, Edinburg; Article VI, page 40
$1,600,000 for Agricultural Research in the district.
A 13% increase in funding for the University of Texas Pan American.
What about the pay raises of the UTPA employees?
I wonder how much UT Austin is getting?

Aaron voted for Tom Craddick to bring a 3 million dollar drug rehab center to edinburg. What did the Delta Area get from Aaron? Not a damn thing!
Gabriel Salazar from San Antonio will be here sometime in Sept to run Aaron's campaign. What does a guy from San Antonio know about valley politics? You could say he took credit for Aaron's last victory. But I think we all know how Aaron won his last election. And it wasn't because of Gabriel.
Aaron, you will soon find out. That without certain people in your camp. You cannot and will not win. You are damaged goods! And the people of your district will soon find out. Where can I send you the father of the year award?
