McALLEN, Texas – The McAllen Citizens League (MCL) will host a forum featuring Democratic candidate Julio Salinas and Republican candidate Gary Groves, who are seeking to represent Texas House District 41. Both candidates have confirmed their participation.
The forum will take place Wednesday, October 14, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel, 1800 South Second Street in McAllen. Carlos Sanchez, former senior editor at Texas Monthly and executive editor of The Monitor, will moderate.
