Houston Chronicle Endorses Hubert Vo

The Houston Chronicle:  Hubert Vo, the Democratic incumbent in this westside district, has served his District 149 constituents ably for three terms. An immigrant from Vietnam, Vo well represents the rapidly changing face of this district. He says he makes a particular effort to reach out across party lines because “I want to make opportunities available to others that I had when I came here.

Hubert has earned the support of all the state’s teacher organizations, the major law enforcement and firefighter groups,  business, environmental groups and professional associations.

“I am proud to be supported by such diverse groups and pledge to continue to listen to all sides and seek the common-sense solutions to the issues facing our state,” said Hubert.

Hubert Vo says, “I feel it is my responsibility to communicate with my constituents to understand the issues that are important to them and to work with those who can help the district.”

Because of his experience and proven record, Hubert Vo continues to receive support from a broad spectrum of organizations.

“A KINDNESS THAT TAUGHT ME HOW GREAT AMERICA CAN BE”

“After the fall of South Vietnam, my family fled the country by boat.  After ten long days at sea, the U.S. Navy took us to the Philippines, and after a few months, we arrived in Lubbock, Texas.  We had little more than the shirts on our backs and did not speak a word of English.  But the First United Methodist Church sponsored our family.  They took us in as if we were their own, and their kindness taught us how great American society can be.”
