City Rep Rachel Quintana Attends Candidate Forum

In one of the bigger WTF moments of this campaign season, City Rep Rachel Quintana actually showed up to a candidate forum. Turns out this is actually the second one she attended.

She wouldn't go near a candidate forum when she was a candidate and obviously didn't think they were important enough to attend.

I guess now that she is on her way out, she has changed her mind and attended tonights Eastside Civic Association candidate forum.

It's no secret, she is a rival to Mayela Mejia who is a candidate in that race along with Dr. Mike Noe, George Atkins, and the lady that thinks you can "cure" gay through prayer, Sonia Brown.

Representative Quintana didn't speak to Mejia or even acknowledge she was in the room, but the unpopular city rep spent a great deal of time chatting with Dr. Noe.

Don't read anything in to that, I think Quintana would support anyone against her rival so don't take this as a suggestiont that she's supportive of Noe. He's trying to win votes, not lose them, so I don't think he'd appreciate anyone implying she's supporting him.

It was pretty interesting considering that wasn't the only reason there was tension in the room. The assistant she fired, allegedly for attending Mejia's campaign announcement, Dennis Melonas was also at the forum.

She didn't acknowledge him either.
