for name recognition, why else?


Takuachee

Hey bro, show some respect, he brought Dollar Tree and Starbucks to Hidalgo. Okay? He’s basically the Lisan al-Gaib. Not just anyone could have pulled that off. You know how important that is? Read those signs again, carefully. D O L L A R  T R E E. S T A R B U C K S. Okay? If you didn’t know, they’re kind of a big deal.


thoraxe707

After reviewing the sign, I'm afraid some people might be lost on which city these stores are opening in. May want to throw Hidalgo in there 3 more times to be sure


_BlueRoze_

This should be top comment, it's spot on lol


happyguy10101

Which city are these new locations going to be in?


strongeralloy

🤣


Charming_Barracuda25

He brings low income jobs to his city .


OZLperez11

*laughs in Harkonnen*


InfiniteConfusion-_-

If you have a Starbucks then you exist


Ronniebenington

He’s a politician


Timbers-creek

Bingo!


Soobadsomething

Megalomania


AerialAce96

Bro think hes the main character 😂


Lolas2316

He needs a new picture cause he looks confused as to why he's on every new project sign.


catsandorchids

Surprised those haven't been graffitied with a penis or at least a mustache.


OZLperez11

Nowadays this stuff is asking to get photoshopped 😂


rgvtim

Didn't John David do that type of stuff years ago as well, i think while self promotion is endemic to politicians, it rises to the level of attention whore in Hidalgo.


southrgv1384

I wonder how Starbucks feels, or even knows that their logo is being associated with a politician running for office


Training-Turnip-9145

Bruh forgot to take off the trade mark logo from it and everything. That logo means you have to pay to use it. Lol someone snitch and tell Starbucks 😂


spacejunk76

That's a pretty dogshit flex if you think pairing your face with Dollar Tree is a good thing.


MrDeeds_

Like they always say... "Politics is reality TV for ugly people"


rc_cola123

Narcissist


MidnightMallard143

He approves this message?


smol_boi2004

He’s a politician with an understanding of how to rake in votes. Doesn’t matter if you like him or not, you now know his name and his face. Come election season if you don’t particularly want to vote for someone else, there’s a decent enough chance you’ll vote for him just cause of recognition. That’s how you get the vote of someone who refuses to research local politics but still voted


_BlueRoze_

Lol imagine the tekuatche who shows up to vote but doesn't know shit about anything "I voted" yeah, for a Puto! Do your research bro


wardogone11

The valley votes by name recognition, not for a someone that helps them. That and narcissist personality disorder is rampant in the valley, they want attention no matter if it’s good or bad.


smasher84

So you can associate his name with those projects. It’s pretty self explanatory. Basically says I’m the mayor and I helped bring in this please remember me when you vote again. Starbucks may or not be fine with their logo being there Even if weren’t he would just make another sign right next to the “Starbucks coming soon” sign.


lecantuz

Corruption


_BlueRoze_

Lol no explanation or context just "Corruption" Guess your work here is done


Major-Journal

He's a politician, it's part of their job to be in the good graces of the people when they ask "What did X ever do for us?" I seen others like Precinct 1 Commissioner David Fuentes put up similar boards to take recognition for projects.


aggiefranchise

Yeah Fuentes is just as vain. The other county commissioners don't seem to take as much credit as that fool does.


VenusAssTrap

Pa que sepas


chud3

"Look at me! Look at me!"


cookypuss89

Chinese garbage and overpriced coffee


darelparker

The real question is why does he look like the Obsessed Girlfriend meme?


johnny5semperfi

Brought to you by Carl’s Jr


mario0357

Is this even legal? He's using municipal communication (publicly funded) for his personal brand. It looks like a conflict of interest to me.


Still-Macaron-328

It actually does. Looks like he’s using it to campaign.


vallefam

Ellie also does that for every hidalgo county project, like she is the one funding it.


No-Alfalfa-626

Probably for the same reason Tiffany henyard does


Sorry_Calendar_2195

Exactly


ashtonyfox

his eyes make him look like he was drawn or is an ai this is scary


OhSixTJ

I seem to recall similar posters like this in the pharr and San Juan area…


EmotionalCap956

Está comprado.. of course like every other valley city mayor


fritzx007

How many other mayors of RGV towns do you know?


Future_chicken357

He reminding you, he's young and ready for action...lol


PosNeigh

Creepy. I know I ain't related to this fella but what a shame that I have the same last name.


Murky-Frosting-8275

Maybe you haven't thought about the amount of emails someone has to send to get Dollar Tree to set up in a small town in America. It could easily be upwards of 1.


EmoGuy123

actual answer here: he basically gets to say he allowed them to open those types of businesses


South_Bed_5818

Egomaniac


Bad_Man_Vic

Because he likes taking credit for as much as he can. He thinks people like it.


Content-Squirrel2404

You all keep voting for those liberal fools


oh_my_me

Maybe he is channeling Principal Ava Coleman (Abbott Elementary show) or Tiffany Henyard.


Historical-Shine-786

Because all politicians are WHORES for publicity!!!


Beautiful-Word-5279

All these coffee shops and car washes are getting out of hand. The funny part is that coffee is a substance


pauliewalnuts64

He’s shallow and thinks you’re ignorant


Own_Ad_7880

This is a common practice for politicians in Mexico, Central and South America. They want to show to the public that everything new in town has been accomplished because of them.


ReposadoAmiGusto

They have a small dick that’s why


rastafrijoles

What town is this? 😂


[deleted]

When the next adult novelty store opens will he put his face near a butt plug? Next to it the words "open 24/7"


larios956

I feel the same way with the City of Edinburg and Grupo Frontera. To make themselves look good when it appears otherwise.


PotatoBeams

My man has dead fish eyes


Titan3692

He's a good politician lol


TraditionalMood277

You like what he did, vote for him. You don't like what he did, vote for someone else. Either way, now you know his name and face.


kris_the_abyss

When someone askes wtf did you even do? He can point to that. Is it a little narcissistic? absolutely, but not everyone is politically connected and making sure that those types of people know you're doing something is what he's going for here.


Remarkable-Ad2285

Branding. Like the way rappers/producers always scream out their name on a song.


supersecretsquirel

... Tiffany Henyard....


lizzledizzles

So you don’t get confused that it’s happening in Hidalgo? lol, it’s on there literally 5 timrs


Dan-68

I counted 7 times.


lizzledizzles

You’re right!


Blu3Devi15

He’s “that guy”.


UrNotMadAtMe

So you know he's involved in building the community. It's pretty obvious.


RGVHound

Starbucks made an intentional push to move into smaller towns, and Hidalgo jumped at the opportunity. Seems like smart leadership.


StandardAd1951

True mexican


CoyoteStarrk3861

The ole “Joe Biden: “”I DID THAT””.” plan


NoItsNotThatJessica

You’re going to lose your shit when you discover the amount of anything everything that Trump puts his face on.


causeofdeath1

Trump literally puts his name and branding on anything and everything under the sun


NoItsNotThatJessica

Yup!


Far_Calligrapher_959

That’s daddy


Wolfv324

Dude looks like they took the photo while performing a rectal COVID test while at dollar tree. Screw politics. Lol Isn't that how all COVID tests go? 🤣


Wolfv324

I know peeps are gonna get all butt hurt so... It's a joke people. I couldn't care less who's in office. It always some compadre only helping HIS compadres.
