MCALLEN, TEXAS (AP) -- Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Rick Noriega expressed support today for establishing a veterans hospital in the Rio Grande Valley.
Noriega, who is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. John Cornyn in the Nov. 4 election, also picked up the endorsement of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Political Action Committee.
Last week, Cornyn's campaign announced that nearly 40 leaders from both political parties along the border are endorsing Cornyn.
Earlier this year he announced endorsements from about three dozen elected officials and civic leaders in South Texas.
