When current City Representative Claudia Ordaz ran for the seat she now holds, County Judge Veronica Escobar threw her weight behind her.
But then again it is not unlike Veronica Escobar to not only pick a side, but campaign for that side as well.
But will the District 1 race change that?
Veronica will likely NOT endorse or campaign for a candidate associated with the Forma Group. So that will eliminate a candidate - likely David K's attorney.
Manny Hinojosa? Nope.
Daniel Lopez? Nope.
Bertha Gallardo? You would think so because of that whole Latina thing, but that stuff is only skin deep. So I am gonna say no.
Rick Bonart? Nah. Bonart is not the "kiss the ring" type.
So Svarzbein? I think it was David K that said Commissioner Vince Perez, City Representative Claudia Ordaz and Jaime Abeytia that are helping Svarzbein with his ground game. But even then I am not sure that's enough for Escobar. You see for Escobar the dog wags the tail, the tail never wags the dog.
This actually might be a race that Escobar sits out.
If there is a race that she wished she got get involved in it's Niland's race and it would be to unseat Niland, not re-elect her. Escobar doesn't like competition.
