Anti-Gay Movement Spawns a Candidate

One of the people supportive of the ordinance that took away domestic partner benefits from eligible couples, retirees, and others is apparently making a run for city council.

Manny Hinojosa, who has addressed city council along with other members of the religious community during the debate over domestic partner benefits, has indicated that he will be running for city council.

Hinojosa has been talking about doing so for months now. In addition to the domestic partner benefits issue, Hinojosa says he's also been a watchdog for lower taxes from the city.

The political resume of Hinojosa is a little thin, but pretty much par for the course for city council candidates. Political careers often start off at the city level so its not surprising that Hinojosa doesn't have too much experience politically speaking. But Hinojosa does have an aspect of experience not usually seen by city rep candidates, he is a Precinct Chair in the Republican Party.

Hijonosa lives in the district currently represented by Ann Morgan Lily.
