Strange Political Bedfellows Part 2
In a weird twist, SBOE Rep Charlie Garza, who is a Republican, has been shopping around HD 75 Democratic candidate Hector Enriquez to the teachers' union for support according to sources within the teachers' union.
Its weird for several reasons. #1 Garza is a Republican shopping around a Democrat. #2 Garza ran for that seat previously and got his ass kicked. #3. Garza, who was in administration, is shopping him to union people. That's the exact WRONG person to try to shop someone around. #4, Garza has an uneasy alliance right now with the Ysleta Teacher's union because of some issue involving alleged retaliation against his wife who was a librarian at one of the middle schools and so he has beef with YISD administration, but there is no way that YTA will go against the TSTA.
Apparently Garza allegedly got really upset because he wasn't allowed to be inside a grievance proceeding. One of those "Who dare they keep out the SBOE" sort of things...allegedly.
Garza, who won the seat on the SBOE two years ago, got his clock cleaned in El Paso, but since the rest of the district is decidedly Republican, he was able to win the seat and he famously held an investiture ceremony that had so much pomp and circumstance that it rivaled the recent Royal Wedding.
