Rebuttal to Comparison Between Tom Brown & Vince Perez
Sonia Brown is a first time candidate trying to establish her credentials as a candidate in her FIRST attempt to run for elected office. You're gonna compare her candidacy to a 15 year incumbant with a 15 year voting record on the issues?? Really??
Second, this was an endorsement forum not a debate. Congressman Reyes attended this exact same MABA endorsement forum himself, because he's smart enough to know that if your seeking someone's endorsement you better show up in person, not send someone else. Vince never spoke for the Congressman when seeking a group's endorsement. Pastor Brown is stepping in for his wife before a group that's figuring out what candidates to endorse.
Third, Congressman Reyes may not have made every debate during the campaign, but Congressman Reyes still had the primary responsibility of representing us in his official capacity as our federal representative. What's Sonia Brown's excuse?
Congressman Reyes was present at all the most widely-attended debates including the Border Network for Human Rights, the Ray Pearson Forum and a live debate on Channel 7. The only debate that Vince participated in that had more than a dozen people was at Burges.
Tim, as for the Transmountain debate, Tim Besco didnt even show up, he sent his campaign manager Oscar Gonzalez. At the Riverside debate, there weren't more than 10 people and Besco himself was a no show, and didnt even send a representative.
I heard there were more candidates than people!!
It's to the Congressman's credit that he would send a representative even to the most poorly attended forums. When you're a challenger, it's easy to campaign full time when youre not responsible for executing the official duties of the office.
That also makes Tim Collins WRONG about the Congressman being a no show more than a participant.
Sonia Brown is a challenger who's too busy (or too afraid) to get endorsements on her own and needs her husband to speak for her. Not smart for a first time candidate trying to earn voters trust.
