寒门出身的警长

掌管数千人警员的赫里斯郡警长根扎勒週四举办之早餐会， 再次宣佈他将第三次竞选连任， 到塲的数十位支持者都慷慨解囊 ，资助他竞选经费。

根紥勒和华亚裔社区相识已经二十多年， 早在他担任市议员及代理市长时期经常参加我们社区之活动， 并且到过中国大陆、 台湾及许多亚洲国家访问， 促进和各国之文化经济交流。

他出身於一个大家庭的拉丁裔家庭， 早年曾经苦学奋斗，上了大学并专研警政， 自从年轻时代就是学生领袖 ，在政界也一路顺风 。

赫里斯警长一职非常重要， 他掌管休斯敦市区以外之广大区域之治安， 近年来因枪支氾滥， 犯罪情形严重， 但据统计数字去年来已大幅下降。

拉丁裔市民近年来激增， 在大休斯敦地区已逼近半数， 未来在政治上必然是前途无量。

Gonzales Looks For A Third Term 

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzales, who is in charge of thousands of officers, held a breakfast party on Thursday. He announced that he would once again run for re-election for a third term.

Gonzales has been known by the Chinese Asian community for more than twenty years. In earlier years  when he served on the Houston City council, he often participated in our community activities and visited China, Taiwan and other Asian countries to promote culture and business exchanges with the City of Houston. 

Sheriff Gonzales was born into a   big family and worked his way all through college. His political journey is an outstanding role model for our country. 

The position of sheriff is such a     very important position. Because   of Sheriff Gonzales' hard work, our crime rate was cut in half last year. 

The Latino population is rapidly rising in our area. We can now foresee that there will be many Latino politicians ready to serve    our community in the future.
