El Paso Young Democrats Host Congressman Reyes
Congressman Silvestre Reyes sounded like a different man according to several attendees of last night's meeting of the El Paso Young Democrats.
In what was the largest turnout ever for an El Paso Young Democrats meeting, Congressman Reyes spoke to the attendees about what he's done in Congress and what his plans are for the future.
One long-time political observer noted, "...he was on fire last night. It was a different Reyes. He was funny, he had energy, and he seemed like he was already in campaign mode. I don't think I've ever seen this side of him..."
I'm a member of the El Paso Young Democrats but I have taken note of the fact that there is clearly a shift of influence within the Democratic Party. Its early in the campaign season, but so far, the El Paso Young Democrats have had the political event of the season so far in terms of turnout and who was in attendance.
Congressman Reyes was introduced by Alejandro Guzman, who is the organization's Vice President of Finance and managed the evening's event said during the introduction, "...anyone who says the Congressman hasn't done anything for El Paso either hasn't done their research or is a complete idiot..."
Which probably would've been quote of the night if it weren't for the fact that Congressman Reyes was standing by President Obama and going on the attack with the GOP. After laying out several of the bad policies of the GOP, Congressman Reyes asked the crowd if they were "...tired of getting screwed..."
The El Paso Young Democrats will host Beto O'Rourke at next month's meeting.
Several prominent elected officials and candidates (along with rumored candidates) were in attendance including:
County Commissioner Anna Perez
EPCC Trustee Art Fierro
Judge Patrick Garcia
Judge Herrera
Vince Perez, Candidate for County Commissioner's Court Precinct #3
Hector Lopez, rumored candidate for State Rep HD 75
Dora Oaxaca, rumored candidate for State Rep HD 75
Hector Enriquez, candidate for State Rep HD 75
Don Williams, Candidate for the 355th Family Court
EPISD Board President Isela Castanon-Williams
Sheriff Richard Wiles
along with a host of other school board members judicial candidates, etc. Like I said in a previous piece, I left my notes somewhere and I had a big list of all the attendees, but those where the only ones I remember off the top of my head.
If you are on Don Williams' email list, (and if you aren't you should ask yourself why you aren't) he has a photo show with most of the attendees. Noticeably absent were Chairman Danny Anchondo, SDECW Yolanda Clay, and any of the leadership of the Tejano Democrats...
