Marquez's Austin Opponent is a Joke
Look I don't know the vato. Never heard of him and never spoke to him. But he sounds like a joke of a candidate.
Although I think his business name is very creative.
The reason I never heard of him, or Mary Gonzalez from HD 75 for that matter, is because they aren't from El Paso. And point of fact, neither am I.
But unlike the Ricardo Aaron Barraza and Gonzalez, I have lived here for the past few years. And I have serious doubts about some claims in Barraza's quotes. Apparently in the El Paso Times today Barraza claims to live in El Paso most of the time and occasionally visit Austin for his business.
Yeah right.
Its a small business, which means it requires baby-sitting. State Rep Marisa Marquez says he applied for a position with her office but her openings were only in the District. So....if he lives here most of the time, what is the problem? Why go for the Austin position and not take the one in El Paso?
Only one reason. Because he lives in AUSTIN! Duh!
Here is another problem I have. Parties are about values. You align yourself with parties based on what you believe and what they profess to stand for. So the fact that the vato worked for State Rep Dee Margo, who was running against Joe Moody is a deal-breaker. I have a problem with pretty much any Democrat that worked against Moody because what we got was a State Rep that made bad votes for El Paso.
If you worked for the other side, why would you seek our nomination?
It doesn't make sense.
The one who has to be happy about this is Marisa Marquez. She's still has a boat load of cash in her campaign account. She will stomp a mud hole in this weak opponent. So she can say she survived a challenge without really having had a challenge.
Which is good for her because it will keep her sharp. She's gonna need to be if the Republicans can find someone in their local party that isn't a total joke to run against her in a Gubernatorial election if the lines drawn by the San Antonio Court stand.
I don't know who she pissed off, but somebody sure screwed her over in redistricting. Her district is in play for the Republicans in a Gubernatorial year.
