Another Freedom Fighter

Rebecca Cervera is fighting a tough race for State Representative District 41 in McAllen, Texas. Her Democrat opponents have been harassing her and her family with such niceties as slashing her tires and calling child protective services with false complaints.

She is an amazing, passionately conservative Republican who simply believes that our country is on the wrong track and she wants to do what she can to make things right. This is from her website:

"Rebecca Cervera is an entrepreneur, business owner, musician, community activist, and mother of four boys.

As one of 13 children raised in a transient and uneducated family, Rebecca had her first job at age 11. At age 12 she enrolled in high school and earned her diploma while living with classmates, teachers, and foster families. In college she worked full time, participated in campus outreaches, studied abroad, and was a delegate to the Intercollegiate Legislature. She received her B.S. in International Business.

While attending graduate school, Rebecca was recruited as a full time missionary to set up adult education programs for impoverished indigenous people in Northern Mexico. At the end of her term she began work as a cross cultural business liaison, specializing in loss prevention and employee retention. While living in Mexico she continued volunteer service with American expatriate and local youth programs.

Since returning to the U.S., Rebecca has become a managing partner in a customs brokerage and owns a produce distribution company. She founded Royal Readers, a literacy campaign that promotes the virtues of literacy through motivational concerts, radio segments, public education, literature, and the arts. She is also an Hidalgo County Juvenile Court Conference Committee member, mentoring non-violent first time offenders.

Rebecca believes that District 41 is ready to elect a delegate who represents the values and makeup of our district. She understands that building a strong and stable community is the foundation and future of our district."

I was going to add her photo, but my toolbar has mysteriously changed. If you'd like to see what she looks like, here is her website: http://www.rebeccacervera.com/
