The Next Democratic Party Chair?
It looks like Danny Anchondo will not seek another term as chair of the Democratic Party in El Paso County.
There was talk that Don Williams was going to run for County Chair until a judicial position became open that was anticipated to be open.
Multiple sources within the Democratic Party state that they have been contacted by a familiar name that was allegedly considering a run for Democratic Party Chair had Don Williams decided to run.
The sources state that former State Representative Norma Chavez had indicated that she was interested in running for Chair if Don Williams was a candidate for the position.
Chavez has long been a standard-bearer for Democratic Party values and votes, but has also been known to cross the aisle when necessary. She has also been very outspoken in support of the recall effort spearheaded by Pastor Tom Brown as of late.
Gay rights and equality are part of the national platform of the Democratic Party.
There are strong indicators that Robert Grijalva (pictured on the right at a recent meeting) would be a possible candidate for County Chair along with another blast from the past Rick Melendrez and perpetual candidate Jorge Artalejo.
Grijalva's possible candidacy would be very interesting because he would likely be supported by the "Old Guard" wing of the Democratic Party and the rest of the party would like look at him as a reasonable person that they could work with.
