The Oaxaca Endorsement

Perez and Loya at an event earlier in the campaign
The question on people's mind about the El Paso County Commissioner's race for precinct #3 is who will Dora Oaxaca endorse in the run off?

Personally, I don't think its much of a question. There's no way in hell she ever endorses Vince Perez. She will either not endorse anyone or she will endorse Quintanilla. From the sound of her election night interviews it sounds like she is going to endorse Quintanilla.

The two candidates running on a reform or change message were Rudy Loya and Vince Perez. Loya immediately endorsed Perez. It makes sense considering they were pretty like-minded in terms of their platform.

Oaxaca used to work for Quintanilla in the past so it wouldn't be a shocker if she endorsed Quintanilla.

Theoretically if you added Oaxaca's numbers to Quintanilla's numbers it would be enough to give him a win. But that would be predicated on every single Oaxaca supporter went back to the polls and voted for Quintanilla. That's not likely in a run-off election.

Stay tuned.
