Busy Lady!

In addition to running Commissioner Willie Gandara Jr's office, and in addition to running a city rep campaign for Dr. Michiel Noe, Dora Oaxaca has been nominated for a seat on the University Medical Center Board.

Oaxaca, who has been a long-time activist in the El Paso Democratic Party and has run several campaigns and worked with various elected officials, has been nominated for the post by her boss, Commissioner Willie Gandara Jr.

The seat opened upon the recent resignation of Barbara Perez, who had to resign because she won her bid for the Justice of the Peace seat in the eastside. Ironically, Perez's campaign was managed by Dora Oaxaca.

The University Medical Ceter will be facing federal and state cuts in funding and will likely gain a higher profile of the next year as a result.
