Former City Rep & Democrat Endorses Libertarian

Former city rep Eddie Holguin's name and endorsement appears on campaign literature for a Libertarian left at homes this week.

Holguin, once a prominent Democrat, has always been a close political of Jaime O. Perez who has been trying to lead a faction of Libertarians for years.

The endorsement is interesting for a couple of reasons aside from the fact that he's a former city rep. It's the first time he's ever actually endorsed publicly a candidate over a Democrat. While the races are non-partisan, the endorsement isn't going to be well-received within the Party.

Endorsing a Libertarian might as well be endorsing a Republican.

In some ways it's even worse in the case of Mr. Pickett because he posted social media content with an anti-immigrant sentiment. 

Holguin's spouse Iliana is also a prominent member of the Party, currently serving as the Secretary of the Executive Committee. She's also a prominent immigration lawyer.

It's interesting to note that candidates Homguin has lent his name to have never actually won an election.

Not one.

Not ever.

Quick sidebar - if you're ever in doubt about who is behind the opposition slate of candidates, just look for the Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign logo rip-off. Or look for a McCain logo rip-off. It's Jaime O Perez's go-to move.
