Of the two candidates running to represent District 23 in the US House of Representatives for the largest district of its kind in Texas which stretches from El Paso all along the I-10 corridor to San Antonio down to Eagle Pass and back up the Rio Bravo, we feel Alpine's Pete Gallego is the best to do so.
