Marisa Marquez for State Senate

Now I know everyone knows that I pitch for Team Marquez, but I know a winner when I see one. 

 

She could very well be a contender in the race for Senate. 

 

Yes, there is Mary Gonzalez, and Cesar Blanco. 

 

And apparently Pickett. 

 

But let us just look at the frijoleros.

 

Marquez is the only candidate that actually lives in El Paso.  We all know the story of Blanco renting a place in the district and having his homestead in San Antonio that no news will publish and Mary, well, call her a rolling stone, since wherever she lays her hat is her home, but a place to call her own? Not in El Paso County. 

 

And say what you will about Marquez, but she has taken on an establishment and won.

 

She has made some mistakes along the way and plenty of enemies, but she also made some sound choices, got out of the game on a high and has maintained friendships on the inside.

 

Shit, I even heard a rumor that she has mended fences with her former nemesis Norma Chavez...U R MY FRIEND!!!

 

THAT is HUGE if she announces. 

 

She may not get the endorsements that Blanco will wrap-up, but no one can deny her effectiveness on the inside, even Blanco.

 

Plus she's a female in a huge election year. 

 

Did I mention she would be the only Hispanic female in the race that actually lives in the district? Oh, and she is still friendly with the big donors and the huge TLR PAC in Austin so money won't be an issue.

 

She's grown up, got a kid, runs a business, done things the other two frijoleros have not.  I would say Marquez has a pretty good chance if she wants it.

Before you all say shit...  

 

I will identify as a frijolero long before I'll identify as "Latinx".

 

"Latinx" is a term that is a result of Anglo-cultural supremacy. 

 

Yes, King George may have been an asshole, but Carlos V was not.  

 

Carlos V has a chocolate bar named after him.  

 

So eat, shit and die, you Latinx turncoats.  

 

 

 

 

 

Jose Rodriguez - Finally Leaving!!!

It's been rumoured for a while.

But it is now official. 

Jose Rodriguez is not running for re-election.

Now does everybody line-up behind Cesar Blanco?

Does Mary Gonzalez decided to switch races? 

Whatever it is.

I just hope it is not a coronation. 

El Paso CAD - BTFO

To all property tax paying persons of El Paso, you all have some good news finally. 

Your property appraisals are going to drop and drop fast.  

Or at least they should

Per your hometown hero, Roberto O'Rourke, El Paso will be uninhabitable in eight years.  Or so he told America that he told his kid.

In the upcoming year, protest. 

All of you need to go to the CAD and protest your valuations.

I am not joking.  

You just had a person with standing in the community, whose claim has not been refuted, just say no one would be able to live in El Paso in 2027. 

The CAD will need to tell you why El Paso will still be inhabitable in 2027z

If it does not and it still raises your valuation, it is time for a class-action lawsuit against the CAD.

Either O'Rourke is full of shit or he is not.  

The CAD along with all other local governments in El Paso will need to argue why O'Rourke is wrong. 

"Max, you're being an idiot, Beto only said that to depress values enough so that is father-in-law can get the climate change discount on real estate in El Paso."
