Dear Friends,
I want to thank you for your support since December 23, 2008.
We ran a significant and positive campaign. We kept it positive and respectable. To those who volunteered: sent emails, made calls, worked polls, gave of their resources, we are especially grateful to you.
I want to correct the Chronicle’s characterization of my position relating to the results of the March 2, 2010 Republican Primary (“Incumbents Base Losses on Ethnic Bias” 3/4/10). I have never in my life directly felt the effects of racial bias, nor have I ever accused anyone of exhibiting prejudice against me due to my Hispanic heritage. This includes my assessment of the Republican voters in this week’s Primary Election.
I am more determined than ever to work for our Republican principles and the leaders who uphold them.
Now, more than ever, we need to rally around qualified and credible leadership. Our future and our way of life is at stake.
Thank you and God bless,
Please Join Leo for his victory celebration & election watch party.
We look forward to seeing you there. Thanking you for your help.
Celebrating Victory!

Let’s Be Clear About This
I am proud to serve as the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector & Voter Registrar. With the support of the citizens of Harris County, I hope to continue to serve in this capacity for many years to come.
I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to meet the taxpayers and voters over this past year at the many breakfasts, luncheons, civic groups and official meetings and functions where I have spoken or attended. It is valuable to have these personal interactions with and hear directly from constituents. I have tried to educate everyone on the functions of the Harris County Tax Office and give a better understanding of how your government works for you. I have also tried to provide an introduction to my background and my philosophy that government needs to operate less like a bureaucracy and more like a business – a concept which is well-received. However, given the short time allotment during a typical breakfast club meeting, it does not allow me to fully define some basic tenants and principles in which I steadfastly believe. So let’s be clear about this:
Antonio (Tony) & Magdelena Grijalva cordially invite you to join them for a reception honoring Leo Vasquez with special guests The Honorable Chase Untermeyer US Ambassador to Qatar (Retired) and The Honorable Eduardo Aguirre US Ambassador to Spain & Andorra (Retired).
