From Eric Dondero:

The day before Primary Day here in Texas. Over the weekend, the TX Republican Liberty Caucus released their list of endorsed candidates. Many standard names of Liberty-supporting Republicans are on the list. (See list at RLC.org). But a last minute addition was made: Jessica Puente-Bradshaw. She is running for the Solomon Ortiz seat, on the Texas Gulf Coast, from Corpus Christi to Brownsville. (District immediately south of Ron Paul's CD-14).

Ms. Puente-Bradshaw is of course, a favorite of this web site. (We first covered her weeks ago here at LR.) She is a "Tea Party gal." She can be seen in these two photos at the Tea Party protest in Brownsville, (right on the Mexican border), back in July.

A sampling of her top stances:

* Free Enterprise: I believe the government has interfered enough in our economy. From the printing of money, mortgage crisis, and exploding deficit, the Obama administration will not fix a struggling economy with more and more debt. Our country's economy IS resilient and can come back to better than expected levels. Congress, get out of the way and let free markets take the lead.

* Border Security: we have been walking a fine line between the need for border control and the idea of racism. Enough! I PLEDGE to work to make REAL immigration reform. I will not allow the left guilt our country into lax border security that puts us all in danger. As a Hispanic woman who was raised in the border town of Brownsville, I have first hand knowledge of the importance of border safety. It is not about racism, it is about safety!

* Health Care: Controlling 16% of an economy by the federal government, and closed door sessions are a clear indication that the Health Care bill is nothing more than a nefarious desire by an administration to control the people. I pledge that while in congress, I will work with other conservative legislators to REPEAL, REPEAL and REPEAL!

Of particular note, immediately upon learning of the endorsement Jessica posted the RLC-backing announcement on the home page of her campaign website.

She faces two other opponents tomorrow.

All the best Jessica, y mucha suerte! from your friends in the Libertarian Republican movement.
