Tamayo Backs Mary Gonzalez for Speaker
No, I'm serious. That really happened.
State Rep 76 candidate and occasional resident of El Paso, Elisa Tamayo backed State Rep Mary Gonzalez for Speaker at a forum last night.
I know, that makes things awkward when you review finance reports. Oh don't get me wrong, Tamayo's biggest financial contributors are the delegation, so its no surprise that when asked who she would nominate for Speaker at the We Fill-in the Blank debate last night that Tamayo would pick someone she's beholden to.
Its just weird that Joe Moody dropped 5 large on her campaign and she picked backing Mary Gonzalez over Moody.
I'm gonna guess that there is a healthy amount of laughter going on in Austin today when they read this. No one in Austin, or in the entire Lone Star State for that matter, really thinks Gonzalez is a legitimate candidate for Speaker of anything.
Hell, I don't think she'd be elected Speaker of the Cotton Eye'd Joe if you want me to be real about it.
But if you hear Tamayo, she usually doesn't go more than a couple of sentences before mentioning that she's endorsed by someone from the delegation. Its like her go-to line.
If she's in a forum and she's asked a question, the answer is always something like blah-blah-blah- bilingual, binational, bicultural, biodegradable, bionic, community and ... have I mentioned I'm endorsed by State Representative Fill in the Blank?
Oh wait, this is the part of the post where y'all don't believe me. This is the part of the post where you guys are probably like - that's a compelling argument but there's no way she really said she'd nominate Mary Gonzalez.
So this is the part where we go to the video...
