High Profile Candidate for Texas Attorney General Campaigns in San Angelo

SAN ANGELO – Texas Attorney General candidate and former Justice of the Texas Supreme Court Eva Guzman spent lunchtime in San Angelo Thursday speaking at the Concho Valley Republican Women luncheon held at the River View Restaurant.  

In her speech to the packed room of GOP Conservative women and local candidates, Guzman said, "As Americans, we share core values that transcend race, ethnicity, status, culture, and creed. To preserve the Texas we love, we must show up, stand up, and speak up for the values and the vision that unite us. That’s our mission and the battlefield for our future. It’s where I’m called to serve as a champion for justice and the rule of law.

As Attorney General, I will push back against government overreach, I will stand up for the men and women in blue who put their lives on the line to serve and protect, I will defend the Constitution, and I will uphold the rule of law."

Guzman is the daughter of legal immigrants and grew up in Houston.  

"Growing up with little money in a family of nine meant making sacrifices and finding ways to overcome barriers. As a young teen, I worked an evening shift at a drapery factory and an assortment of other jobs throughout my teenage years, helping my family to make ends meet and saving to finance my dream of going to college.  All the hard work paid off.

I put myself through The University of Houston, earned a law degree from South Texas College of Law, partnered with my husband to build a marriage and family, and managed a successful law practice before becoming a judge in 1999. Over the course of the next 22 years, I served at three levels of the Texas judiciary, more than half of that time as a justice on the Supreme Court of Texas."

Guzman will return to San Angelo on Sunday, Nov. 7 for the Back the Badge Rally at the Angelo Civic Hall on N. Bryant sponsored by the Republican National Hispanic Assembly.
