Rep. Peña Casts His Vote Early in Elsa
In the early morning when the polls opened at 7, Rep. Peña was spotted coming out of the Elsa City Hall. I snapped this photo. I asked him why he chose to vote in Elsa instead of his home town of Edinburg, he said that he did it for his grandparents. "My grandparents came to this country from Mexico and settled in the farming community of Elsa. My grandmother became a citizen and first voted here. I honor their memory and their dreams for a better life with this campaign and this small gesture."
Early voting numbers reached the 5,000 level.
