It is with great humility and respect that I ask the residents of our community for their continued support and confidence to remain as your Starr County Representative on the South Texas College Board of Trustees during the upcoming May 5, 2018 election. When I came before you in 2012 you allowed me the privilege of continuing my father’s, Manuel Benavidez Jr., legacy of service. I sought this seat not as a stepping stone into politics, but as a pathway to build on my passion for public service. Since then I have worked tirelessly as your voice to ensure we receive every opportunity to expand access and cultivate success for our area. Today, I ask you to join our campaign that is motivated by each one of you willing to invest in the power of education, by each one of you that have come through the doors of our Starr County Campus in search of change, by each one of the thousands of dual enrollment students that have benefited from tuition-free college credit, each one
