Lt. Mike 'Burrito' Hernandez is running for San Angelo Chief of Police in the May 4, 2024 election.  Retired Texas Ranger Chief Chance Collins has endorsed Hernandez.  

What sets Lt. Hernandez apart from his opponents is the depth and breadth of his experience, as well as his exceptional leadership abilities.

As someone who understands the demands and responsibilities of being a police chief, I firmly believe that Mike Hernandez is the right person for the job.

SAN ANGELO, TX — At the Texas Legislature, Cheryl deCordova, a longtime district director for State Rep. Drew Darby, is taking on a new role across the hall as State Sen. Charles Perry's new district director. This move follows the untimely passing of Laura Lewis late last year, who had served as Perry's district director since 2016.

A vote recount will be initiated for two closely contested races from the March 5 Primary election in Tom Green County. 

Michelle DeRusso, running for Tom Green County Commissioner Precinct 1, has called for a recount after the results were too close to call. 

The race to become San Angelo's next Police Chief saw its candidates, Travis Griffith, Mike Hernandez, and Chris Cimino, presenting their platforms at the Tea Party Candidate Forum on Tuesday, March 13.

The March 5 Primary saw a very close race for the County Commissioner Precinct 1 position. 

The district attorney criticized for tardiness in indicting criminals and unresponsiveness to inquiries suffered a resounding defeat in Tuesday's Republican Primary. Laurie K. English, the 112th District Attorney of Ozona, faced significant backlash for the lengthy delay in indicting the coyote accused of recklessly running through an Ozona stoplight, resulting in a collision with a pickup truck driven by Maria Tambunga, who was accompanied by her 7-year-old granddaughter Emilia, tragically leading to their deaths in March 2023.

SAN ANGELO, TX — Three west Texas congressmen panned President Joe Biden's State of the Union address delivered Thursday night. All three took Biden to task for a disastrous regarding the U.S.-Mexico border, especially Rep. Tony Gonzales (CD-23) who represents a district that incorporates nearly 900 miles of the border.

President Biden discussed his radical priorities including: endless American dollars to left wing priorities, abortion up until the point of birth, COVID-19, climate change, and pornographic books in schools.

In a country of 50 states, glued together by a federal government that sometimes seems far away and out of touch, the State of the Union address serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of our nation and the importance of collective action in shaping our shared future.
