Potpourri Around Town
Couple of quick notes:
Omar Macias has made it as official as anyone can in terms of an election bid for city council in District 5. He filed paperwork for a treasurer for his candidacy. The other opponents, Michael Noe and Maria "Mayela" Mejia will presumably join him on the ballot.
District 5 will likely become a crowded race and expect voters to have a tough time trusting the candidates. After the last few years, voters will likely be looking for a candidate that they can trust with the office, not just in terms of integrity but with the intellectual tools to do the job.
State Democratic Executive Committeeman Don Williams lost his camera, allegedly in a cab though Danny Razo of the Mexican American Bar Association and the El Paso Young Democrats joked about an alternate theory, during a recent trip to Austin, Texas.
For most of you thats not a big deal, but for those of you who travel in political circles, you know that it was somewhat of a crisis for Don Williams and explains why you've gone more than 24 hours without a slideshow from Williams in your inbox.
Luckily he has replaced the lost camera and hopefully upgraded. He should, he's a big shot lawyer and can afford it, though his last one was a gift from one the political clubs in town. On a serious note, Don Williams makes it a point to take a picture of everyone who attends a given political event and then sends them out in a slide show. Trust me when I tell you, that is often a valuable resource because it allows you to see who was at a given event even if you weren't able to attend.
On a personal note, I was a little worried because I have often joked that Williams would be buried in a position holding his camera one day otherwise people wouldn't recognize him. Now that he has replaced the camera, he can still have an open-casket service.
Just kidding Don...
