City of Socorro to Hold Special Election

Sources in the City of Socorro indicate that a special election for District 4 will take place as early as December 20th of this year.

The election is necessary due to the passing of J.E. "Chito" Bowling.

There are no details available yet as to the filing window or deadline, although there are several people in the community that have expressed a desire to fill the seat.

Sources indicate that Anthony Gandara may pursue the seat. The seat was previously held by Jesse Gandara. Anthony Gandara was going to run for mayor against his uncle Willie Gandara Sr at one point but was removed from the ballot on a technicality.

At one point there was an internal dispute between the Gandara clan involving the patrons Willie Sr and Jesse Sr, but apparently they have all kissed and made up and are one big happy political family again.

It will be interesting to see if a Gandara is viable in Socorro again.
