The Gracia Family
Meet Jonathan.
As a husband and father, I have a new perspective every day. As other parents do, I want my child to grow up in a safe environment with access to a good education and good healthcare. I will stand strong for your families and your children. I am the son of Robert Gracia and Margaret Lyne. My parents have instilled upon me the value of hard work, perseverance, and education. Those lessons have led to my success as a son, student, citizen, and business owner in Brownsville.
My experience as a public servant over the last 20 years allows me to stand before you as your candidate for State Representative of House District 38. I have dedicated my career to help my community. My professional experience has allowed me to work for government agencies at the city, county, and national level. Click here to view my full resume.
