Alyssa Perez Mailer Shows Temperament; Temper

Alyssa Perez sent out a pretty ugly mailer against her opponent Monique Velarde that landed in mail boxes earlier this week.

It was ugly.

And you can't help but read the mailer and think that it clearly came from an emotional place from Perez.

There's not nice way to say it so I won't bother tip-toeing around it - she pulled a mean girls and body shamed her opponent. Yeah, the mailer was essentially just a vehicle for her to send out an unflattering picture of her opponent.

In the era of "me too" it makes you scratch your head to see a woman body-shame another woman, especially when vying for a seat on the bench.

And that shows you really the only thing we non-lawyers have to go on besides a basic sense of fairness, her temperament.

Perez was pissed about a mailer that Velarde sent out. The Velarde piece featured news clips of the controversy surrounding Perez working as a the attorney for CLEAT and taking judicial appointments and serving as a part-time, fill-in magistrate.

Essentially Velarde let the news stories do the talking.

Perez's response? A mean-spirited excuse to send a bad pic of her opponent to embarrass her and the word "lies".

So what did we learn today class? We learned that Perez's temper might get the better of her and that she apparently has no problems going full-on mean girl because she feels she's popular girl on campus wearing Prada.

That, more than anything any other judicial candidate has done this election cycle, is an indicator of how someone will be on the bench.

Vote accordingly.

Oh, and since she said Velarde's mailer is all a bunch of "lies", why were there multiple news stories about it?

More importantly, why does she acknowledge the issue herself multiple times in this interview?
