Where's the Media Focus on Run-Off Election?

I know that this town is overly-focused on the hoity-toity westside, but believe it or not, important stuff happens in this town that happens to be south or east of UTEP.

I know, shocker!

I'm a little disappointed in the absence of coverage of the run-off election. Especially the El Paso County Commissioner Precinct 3 race.

I mean sure, if there is something bad that happens in Socorro the media is camped out like a Lower Valley edition of Cheaters.

But there's been no focus whatsoever on the Commissioner's race. Its an important race because its geographically the largest part of the County. Its also the poorest and in the most-need of attention.

To say nothing of the fact that it is a seat that is vacant because of Willie Gandara, Jr. He spent a lot of time missing important meetings for his constituents.

This is one of the most important races the County has seen in quite some time because it represents a stark generational difference in the candidates and because of the circumstances of the district.


Spanish-language media in particular have a real opportunity to draw some focus to this race considering how many of the residents in the valley prefer to get their news in Spanish.


It would be really nice if the media acted accordingly...
