Is is true that Dr. Ron Paul delivered Selena, the famous Tejano singer?

I do not know, though I have seen it mentioned several times.

Was Selena even born in Texas?


As all Selena fans know, Selena was born in Lake Jackson in 1971, the year I graduated from Brazoswood High School. I had friends who lived close to the Quintanillas' house, but I never know them. Selena's uncle Isaac was a year ahead of me in school, and I vaguely remember him from junior high, but he kept a very low profile.

Interesting:


Don't forget, the area elected Ron Paul to Congress multiple times, the guy who avoided "pork" politics as if he were Hasidic.

The write up here doesn't mention Ron Paul other than that though.

Yeah, but she could have been born at home. Lots of babies are.

Bradley, Did Dr Paul confirm that or is it just that he was the only practicing OB/GYN in the county in those days?

Bradley, can this be confirmed? Source?

If this is true then it should be noted in Dr. Ron Paul's biography in Wikepedia and perhaps on Dr. Paul's biography on the official campaign site.

Dr. Paul never talks about it, but yes, he delivered Selena. I was told this by the Congressional press guy when we worked together (he was from the district). He says that her parents confirmed it to him when asked.

Too bad she's not still alive, or we'd have our first major celebrity endorsement! She had a beautiful voice, I'm still a Tejano fan because of her influence.

Yes, she was beautiful both physically and vocally.

He was the only OB/GYN in Brazoria County at the time. Also, the press secretary in the Congressional office when I was there confirmed to me that her parents confirmed it to him (he's from the district). I'm told, from the then-press guy, that both her parents and Dr. Paul confirm it but never bring it up themselves.
