Very Conservative
Please provide publicly available information, including interviews and media reports, validating your answer to the previous question (other than your website).
Please visit my political facebook page; @maurogarzaforcongress.

No.

I am not an establishment candidate. I am an individual that places solutions over politics and an individual than knows how to solve problems. I am not a yes person.

Defend our constitutional rights and Texas values of faith, family and freedom.
