Dem Party Elders Confirm Leon Connection to Sonny Garcia

At the same meeting of the El Paso Democratic Party Executive Committee I spoke to a couple of party veterans who have previously served on Leon's campaign committee and they confirmed that Sonny Garcia, another subject of the on-going public corruption scandal, was also part of the Leon campaign team in the past.

The didn't elaborate as to what role he had in the campaign, so it could've been minor, but I mention it because it runs contrary to how Leon answered a key question at a previous forum about connections to subjects of the Public Corruption Scandal.

Leon replied that he knew several of them but he "was not associated" with any of them. A previous post showed substantial campaign contributions from Larry Medina and Robert "Bob" Jones. Leon also worked for Bob Jones.

(Quick sidebar - I know people want to throw everyone from Aliviane under the bus because of the recent developments but I should point out that there are a lot of good people who do good work at Aliviane for people. They shouldn't be thrown under the bus because of the allegations that have surfaced.)
