Based in Dallas, Micheal Albert Hernandez III serves as CEO of D & M Leasing and has enabled thousands of customers nationwide to achieve car ownership. Mike Hernandez III also supports a number of civil and social efforts in Brownsville, an economically underserved community on Texas’ Gulf Coast. In early 2016, he launched the group OP 10.33 with high-profile billboards and slogans such as “We want jobs … now!”

The strongly positive message underscored a transformative agenda of reaching out to young people and providing them with pathways to higher education. Mike Hernandez III is also leading the group in taking aim at official corruption and providing assistance in areas not covered by social services. Another goal involves seeking out business investment that drives employment growth in the local community.

A major impetus for the organization came after extensive research revealed that significant amounts of money earmarked for the city never found their way to actual recipients. A core mandate of OP 10.33 is to act as a political action group and support those candidates that find common cause with its goals.
