City Council Candidates Address Business Group

Ernesto Villlanueva, candidate for City Council District 8 addressed La Red this morning at Paco Wongs. La Red is an organization made up primarily of Mexican business people that are now living, working, and/or doing business in El Paso.

La Red's profile has been increasing over the last year and since they are businessmen, it makes sense for candidates to speak with them in order to try to secure some campaign cash.

Maria “Mayela” Mejia, candidate for District 5 on the Eastside, also addressed the group at today's meeting.

Both candidates spoke for just a few minutes.

No other candidates spoke at this meeting, although it is likely that they will come calling at a later meeting.

La Red is an important stop for the business-friendly candidates.
