Yep, most everything printed in that article ‘sounds’ good and conservative.
However, the fact that he was the founding editor of the Harvard LATINO Law Review gives one pause for concern. It’s fine for someone to be proud of their ethnicity, but I get really suspicious when they feel the need to separate their ethnic group from everyone else instead of helping the group assimilate with the rest of society. It’s like in Congress where they have a Black Caucus, an Hispanic Caucus, etc., wherein it separates a whole into parts.
What are his positions regarding illegal aliens and amnesty?
He might be trying to jump to the front of the TEA party bandwagon. You never know if these politician/lawyer types mean anything they say. You have to get people who have actually done something with their lives.
That is why Michael Williams is great. He has been working in the oil & gas industry in TX for the past decade+.

Yeah, that’s a reasonable concern. I guess I would want to know more about the facts at the time, and his reasons for doing so. Allen West, for example, wanted to join the Black Congressional Congress- to shake things up; Tim Scott didn’t want to join, I think, because of the divisive issues you refer to. Both are valid reasons I think- the key thing is a person’s reasons for doing so, and how legitimate the reasons seem.
