The Precinct 3 Movida
Since we are talking about Precinct 3...
So I've been watching a situation since the filing deadline to see if my hunch was right. Eduardo Romero is the candidate for Precinct 3 that you've never heard of. He ran for Ysleta area trustee for YISD recently and loss to Sotero Ramirez.
But he somehow came up with over 2,000 - in cold hard cash - to pay the filing fee. He's a student at UTEP that lives in a mobile home.
Where does a kid like that come up with that much money, in cash, to file to run for office? Its the part where it was cash that looks strange.
The fact that he's done absolutely nothing in terms of campaigning underscore why this looks like someone gave him the cash to file and put him up to run.
Before he filed it was Commissioner Perez against two female attorneys - Mayor Elia Garcia of Socorro and El Paso County Democratic Party Chair Iliana Holguin.
He has made no effort to run. None at all. A college student doesn't have that kind of money to just be tossing out the window and make no effort at campaigning.
So who would have the motive to make sure there was another male on the ballot?
Three guesses who might be willing to pay someone off to run.
But you're only gonna need one...
