GILBERT LEAL  

Ok,  with a name like Gilbert you can only be so cool!!  But that hasn't stopped him from making a difference in some close campaigns.  

Remember the original Trinity River Bond campaign?  Well Gilbert fought to get a TINY budget from Carol Reed to do  Spanish TV, radio, and print.  And it worked.  The campaign won by 1%.  Carol probably doesn't remember his role, but Domingo Garcia might.
                                                                              
Then outspent 10 to 1, Gilbert helped Craig Watkins come within 2% of defeating incumbent, Bill Hill, in the race for Dallas County DA.  His comical radio spots on KRLD and Spanish radio 1270AM made a difference.

4 years later, Watkins wins election, making him the FIRST Black DA in Texas History.  

So what does the son of a retired USAF Lt. Colonel do in his spare time? Play guitar, sing the blues and call in to KRLD with quirky comments on Charlie Jones.

The Dallas Morning News  and ABC News have published Gilbert's opinion on improving education.



GERARDO MEZA

 This guy knows soccer...and plays with a vengance.  We're still not sure
 why ESPN in Espanol isn't putting him behind the microphone. 

 When Gerardo's not reaking havoc on the field he does wonders in the
 studio.  A creative force in producing some crazy campaign commercials,  
 he's able to keep Latinos listening, laughing and casting their votes. 

 Talk about a winning combination.
