Noe Support

Its not getting a lot of coverage but the race for HD 79 has some really interesting developments, one of which is how remarkable it is that Dr. Michiel Noe appears to be having a major problem getting any traction of support.

Art Fierro's social media platform has been pretty much releasing a new endorsement every day. If you go over the list, you almost wonder who is left to endorse Fierro. Noe I think has two endorsements. Fierro released more than that in one day this week.

But its not just the sheer number of endorsements that Fierro has over Noe, but it is also WHO is endorsing him. As I have mentioned previously, endorsements don't necessarily indicate who is going to win - but the fact that at least three, possibly more, sitting members of city council are endorsing Fierro over Noe says something.

So far only one member of council has come out to support Noe, which is City Rep Henry Rivera, who is married to Noe's campaign operative, Dora Oaxaca-Rivera.

All of Fierro's colleagues are supporting his bid, so the fact that several members of council that actually served with Noe are urging voters to support Fierro INSTEAD of Noe is a big deal.

Three former city representatives that also served with Noe are supporting Fierro as well. Neither of the former mayors that have served with Dr. Noe have given an indication that they are supporting Noe either.

That means the overwhelming majority of people that have served with Noe are urging people to vote for Art Fierro.

You all have read this blog before, you know what I'm about to say...

¡Gacho!

Putting the colleagues aside for a moment, it is even more significant that the police officer's union is supporting Fierro.

Noe has touted his emphasis on public safety in his campaign material, so the fact that the law enforcement professionals that served while Noe was on council are also not supporting Noe is really bad. Think about it, the only City Rep that is publicly supporting him used to be an officer in that union. I'm sure Dora worked that union pretty hard for the endorsement and it still went to Fierro.

That is pretty damn significant.

The people that have worked with Noe as a policy maker are overwhelmingly urging people to vote for someone else. That should be a major red flag with voters.

People that know Noe, say no to Noe. Ya know?
