More on Rep Chavez and Camino Real MAD Leadership Resignations
There is more to what I posted but I am in the process of digging around and getting some background from attorneys in terms of process before I write the rest, so stay tuned.
A quick search of county records does show that the organization is registered as a proprietorship. This link shows that the group was first organized under Ricardo Armendariz. More commonly known as Rick Armendariz. He's a political consultant here in El Paso and is known for working on campaigns regardless of political affiliation. He recently ran Gus Haddad's bid for Mayor and has done some political work for State Representative Norma Chavez in the past. I wrote about a mailer that was done by Armendariz for Chavez a couple years back and a similar design was done for her opponent, State Representative-Elect Naomi Gonzalez, who recently defeated Chavez.
This link shows an active registration under the name ANIBAL HIDALGO OLAGUE and lists an eastside address.
This link shows an active registration under the name LUIS MANUEL RUIZ. Its the most recent one on file with El Paso County. Luis is a former candidate for City Council and Lily Ruiz's brother. Both of the Ruiz's had a fall out with Representative Chavez over the last year, with Lily Ruiz's fallout coming in the closing days of the run-off campaign that Chavez lost to Gonzalez.
There are some indications that Chavez's response to this issue may be to charachterize the recent events as a "re-organization" rather than a resignation of all the executive committee.
There are indications that some of the remaining officers in the organization may also soon resign.
