CORPUS CHRISTI — Before Nueces County Junior Livestock Show activities begin Saturday in Robstown, sip free coffee, munch a free breakfast taco and meet state Rep. Abel Herrero, D-Robstown, and other elected officials from 8:30 to 9 a.m.
Herrero, the incumbent for District 34, is running unopposed in the Democrat primary in March and will face Republican candidate Connie Scott in November.
