Gandara Receives $50k Cash Bond
El Paso County Commissioner Willie Gandara Jr. will be given a cash bond of $50,000 according to KVIA. That means he will likely get out of El Paso County Jail today.
Now the questions for Gandara will start.
Will he resign?
Not likely. I'm betting he will stay on as El Paso County Commissioner for Precinct #3. That means for at least a few meetings Commissioner's Court is going to be packed with cameras and reporters wanting to get comment from Gandara. It will also mean they will likely be floating around his office as well, which is bad for Dora Oaxaca, who is running to replace her boss. She needs to distance herself in order to have any shot at all of being competitive in the race at this point. If Gandara stays on as the Commissioner there is no chance at distancing herself from him. Personally, I don't think it matters. The damage is done and I don't see a path to victory for her anymore.
Will he stay in the race?
Of course not. He's toast. Plus he needs to focus on the case.
Thats all for now. More later.
