Greetings to Duval From Jose Navarro Balbuena Katy, TX
I’m writing this postcard directly to you from my home in Katy, TX. Around San Diego Vaquero Heritage Plaza & Freer Rattlesnake Round-Up Brush Country and across every neighborhood and ranch road in Duval County, I know you and your family work some of the hardest hours in America—in freight, construction, agriculture, energy, healthcare, and family-owned small businesses. Raising my Tejano kids in Texas taught me that representing you means putting real solutions in writing: shielding your first $100,000 to $175,000 from federal income tax and replacing the crushing 15.3% self-employment tax with a flat $150 Schedule C fee.
“I want you to know that my policies are mine. They weren’t written by corporate lobbyists or political consultants—they come directly from my own personal experience, everyday common sense, and the real-life experiences of my clients and the good families I have met on the campaign trail across Duval County and all of Texas.”

Issues Hitting Your Pocketbook in Duval & How My Plan Works for You
“Let’s Cut the Cord on Data Centers” — Powered by My J.O.S.E. Local AI
Corporate data centers drain Texas water and push ERCOT hikes onto your Duval electric bill. Instead of subsidizing them on your back, I built my own sovereign AI in Katy, TX—and I’ll focus on re-engineering current server plants so that they put into the power grid and rely on their own closed-loop cooling and not on your local water resources.

With a median household income around $47,000/yr and median home values near $112,000 in Duval County, working families, 1099 contractors, truckers, and small business owners like you around San Diego are overtaxed by a system built for corporate lobbyists.
