JACINTO CITY, TX. – Tuesday, July 10, 2018 – About 100 patrons at the 60 year old Jacinto City Café were surprised when Lupe Valdez, Democratic Party Gubernatorial candidate, dropped in for lunch along with State Senator Sylvia Garcia.
The locals crowd in for breakfast and lunch daily, except for Sundays, ordering off the full menu. The café is well known for its good prices and home-style cooked food served from the steam table, bringing in daily about 200 people from the Jacinto City, Galena Park and North Channel area.
The 2018 Texas gubernatorial election will take place on November 6, 2018 to elect the Governor of Texas, concurrently with the election of one Texas’s U.S. Senate seat, as well as other congressional, state and local elections throughout the United States and Texas. Incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott is running for re-election to a second term in office and will face Democrat Lupe Valdez, the former Sheriff of Dallas County, as well as Libertarian Mark Tippetts, a former member of the Lago Vista city council.
