Vote for Norma

If I lived in El Paso, I would vote for Norma.

I know.

Weird, right?

Weird given how much I have bashed her.  

Emotions can bring out the worst of people.

But fortunately time does heal old wounds. 

I first met Norma when I was acne-ridden college student wanting to be an intern of hers.  

Sure, it did not hurt that I did not mind being unpaid, but Norma still took a chance on me.

Little did she or I know at that time what would be in store for the both of us as the years unfolded.

Look, I will be the first tell you that Norma has her faults.  

But I will also be the first to tell you that Norma, despite her faults, busted her ass for El Paso.

She busted her ass when quite frankly did not seem to be worth it.  

She served in a legislative delegation of men.

But it was Norma, not the men, who had her dick on the table.

And yeah, after a while, I can see how that might make you carry a chip on your shoulder.

I thought it was silly of her when she thought the El Paso Times had it out for her. 

But looking back now, it turns out I was the silly one for thinking otherwise. 

I thought it was silly of her to be so paranoid.

But when you live in town were an acting County Judge teams up with the only major newspaper in town to send a City Manager and City Representative packing you can never be too paranoid.  

Yes, there was party and a degree. 

But compared to others running for Congress at least her mistakes did not cost you a dime.

Yea, as Congresswoman, Norma will be rough around the edges, but one thing she will always do is put El Paso first. 

Vote Chavez.

You don’t have a mental illness Max. Norma does.

Harriet,

You need a hug.

Love,

Max

Norma is full of hate. She chose you Max because she could control you not out of any empathy or concern. Phuck Norma and phuck you too. Norma needs to be led out to pasture and forgotten the way she forgot how to behave when she called Naomi a lesbian, Veronica a CUNT, Marisa a fat bitch, Shapleigh a patroncito, Pickett a motherfucker, This list goes on and on. Norma stay the phuck home. Just cuz you read a book on politics doesn’t mean you should ever run for office again.

Harriet,

Take a nap.

Love,

Harriet, I'm looking at that list of names that you say Norma called various people, and those all look like accurate descriptions to me. Looks like Norma just tells the unvarnished truth. I hope Norma goes to D.C. and calls out Trump and other Beltway phonies for what they really are too.

The world should be protected from Norma. Keep her away from D.C.
Max -- there in not much to do in Congress if your main agenda is your home town. Norma is not up to the job.

VIVA, Viva, Viva, Long live Norma Chavez! Give em hell Norma.

What a fun election season. Just stocked up on my popping corn.

[Candidates same as I-10 mess]

Don't you think we should clean our own messy politics before suggesting we send someone to throw rocks in DC. If that is the mindset nothing will get done.

It has become a disaster that started a few decades ago. Each President gets personally bashed worse than his predecessor. Washington will continue to be impotent if this nonsense doesn't stop. Feel sorry for the Dem President, they're really going to be destroyed as payback.

Let's send someone that is going to get things done, doesn't waste time bashing, represents El Paso not Juarez.

Sad to say Escobar and Chavez are of the same combative, egotistical, divisive mold. So am I saying vote for Dori ? No. I'm saying this set of candidates suck and this will be a dead two years. On the plus side as Freshmen they have no influence anyway.

If she becomes the first Latina Congresswoman, the whole country will soon understand what that really means :)

Dear Max,
I think you are sweet on Ms. Norma.

does anyone remember when Caballero was Mayor and tried to force the TIFF on all property owners around UMC so Hunt could by them ? This was before Foster donated the Med School and Hunt wanted Utep to have a Med school and not Tech. Probably the only time Hunt and Foster had been combatants on a deal. Norma helped stop that shit from going down. She helped Foster get the Tech Med School too. Hunt still got a nursing school later so he could put his wife's name on something. Overall she helped some small El Paso landowners keep their property's from being taken from them by whatever means(I.D.)under the TIFF. Caballero lost the next election to Cook thank god and thanks to Norma imho.

sorry, Ray was defeated by Wardy, not Cook.

[The Texan]

Totally agree! Great endorsement! With the exception maybe of Mary Gonzalez, I'm not sure I could think of a better rep for El Paso.

[The Raging Chihuahua]

Is it too much to ask for non crazy and/or incompetent and/or political junkies to run for office? Oh wait, I just remembered what town I'm living in. My bad. So what's up with that tweet "My pussy is your worst nightmare." Does that mean she has teeth down there? Can she wield a lightsaber with that thing? If so, that would make a great Star Wars movie: episode VIIII - 'The Vagina Strikes Back'

[Same ole shi-]

There is no change in candidates and office holders. It's like watching a child going thru elem school, Jr High, High school and college. They start at lower levels of politics and wait their turn at each level.

I've saying it for years, it's "political musical chairs" in El Paso.

[Bytor]

So you finally realized that Dori is a carpetbagger so you're going to take the easy way out and vote for Norma?

[Betruthful]

Let me say something good about Norma Chavez. First she....nope. Well she....still nothing.

[abandon hope]

Norma should cut her hair. I was considering voting for her, but saw her on tv on Sunday. Her hair covers most of her face and sometimes her eyes. Do not trust a politician whose eyes you can't see. It looks like she's hiding something besides a middle-aged face. I would rather she be ok with her face, wrinkles, jowls and chin(s). When someone wants to hide his/her face I wonder what else they are hiding. This goes for men and women both.
