Candidate Recruiting in Socorro

There's a reason its called Soco-loco.

Sources in Socorro indicate that former City Manager Lorenza Fraire is recruiting a candidate to replace the late R.E. Chito Bowling for the now vacant District 4 in Socorro.

Thats not really surprising when you consider the fact that that she's a former city manager and was fired. She wants her job back. The fact that she is a former city manager, wants her job back, and is trying to get involved in the campaign of a candidate should send MAJOR red flags.

She's already very tight with Councilman Sergio Cox. It appears that she's looking to elect a majority so that she can get her job back.

I'll let you readers decide if you think thats Kosher, but speaking only for myself, it doesn't pass the smell test.

If you don't know Fraire, there is something you should know. She's fancies herself a good campaigner. She's taken credit for a lot of people getting elected, even people she didn't have anything to do with. She really things that she is the reason that Vince Perez won Socorro in his election for his current office. Mind you no one has ever seen her campaign, no one ever spoke to her, no one ever remembers, but in her mind, she made it happen.

So aside from recruiting candidates, the problem that some in Socorro have is the fact that she was apparently doing so at Councilman Bowling's funeral.

Sources indicate that she was also putting on quite the show last night at the council meeting. She apparently invoked the name of Councilman Bowling several times during the meeting. I guess now she was his best friend.

Por eso les dicen Soco Loco...
