Off the Kuff and The Red State have both noted that money matters in Texas CD-28. Owing to the fact that Ciro Rodriguez is the one candidate from San Antonio while both Henry Cuellar and Richard Raymond are from Laredo, Rodriguez doesn’t need to raise as much as his opponents. After all, the Laredo slugfest is going to be very expensive and very competitive. Which of the candidates from there is going to risk spending less than the other in their hometown in order to go after Ciro in his hometown? Neither, is my guess.

In the meanwhile, Rebeca Chapa of the San Antonio Express-News reports on recent fundraiser for Ciro:

Congressman Charlie Gonzalez, a longtime supporter, was there and spoke on behalf of Rodriguez, saying one voice can make a big difference in the halls of Congress.

“This is a life-or-death battle for the heart and soul of America,” Gonzalez said. “It is Ciro’s social conscience that is so desperately needed in Congress.”
