Perez Holds Fundraiser; Takes on Gandara & Quintanilla

Vince Perez held a campaign fundraiser last night at La Hacienda on Gateway. During remarks made to the supporters in attendance, Perez struck back at his opponents who have been critical of the upstart leader.

Perez laid out a strong, issue-based critique of his opponents and their track records.

This video is the portion of the remarks relating to his opponents.



I am also including the introduction of Perez. He was introduced by his father, who is a retired law enforcement officer. As a career cop, one assumes they have seen so much over a career that they would develop an emotional callous that would shield them between their life and the world they work in.

My dad was the same way. A tough old man. But as you can see in this video, when it comes to one of his kids, he's a little soft and gooey inside. Mr. Perez mentions his son's opponents as well, and like any dad, swells with pride when talking about his son.

Looks like he chokes back emotion as he introduced his son. I include the video because it reminded me how parents are proud of their children. I thought that it said something about both men, father and son. I thought Perez could've chosen some well-known politico to introduce him, but instead he chose to honor his parents.
