Changes in New Regime of the El Paso Democratic Party

On August 20th, there will be a changing of the guard with the El Paso Democratic Party. The new Chairman of the El Paso Democratic Party, Rick Melendrez, will take over from the current Chairman Danny Anchondo.

Melendrez's previous reign as Party Chairman was shadowed by controversy and a range of allegations but the new Chairman is already making some changes. I've heard that the new Secretary of the El Paso Democratic Party is going to be Illiana Holguin, spouse of City Representative Eddie Holguin.

They also made an official announcement yesterday that the new PIO is Soraya Holguin (pictured). I don't know what her public relations experience is as of yet but it is a step in a different direction for the Democratic Party. Lets face it, the Party's public relations has either been non-existent or terrible. There has been a complete lack of presence from the Party in local media and its a rare occasion that the Party ever voices opinion on local, state, or federal policy issues.

Soraya Holguin hasn't previously been around the El Paso Democratic Party but Melendrez is likely getting new blood in to the Party for a couple of reasons. One is likely to have a new pool of talent and the other is because the current group of established Party members aren't going to give him the warmest of welcomes due to his last stint as Party Chair.

I'll keep you posted.
