Alan Serna is a candidate for City District 7 and has raised and and spent far less than his three opponents. His only major donor was Steve Ortega, who wrote him a check for $1,000.
Nevertheless, we feel compelled to share with you his view on the Multipurpose Performing Arts and Entertainment Facility (MPC) that will not be built in Duranguito, if at all. He told KVIA:
“I voted for the Arena back in 2012 just like 76% of the electorate that voted on that day. I am ashamed and appalled that Max Grossman an outsider to El Paso, could even or should even have the ability to destroy and circumvent the will of the electorate to protect an eyesore that will never equal the value of what a downtown arena would have provided. Durangito is an eyesore. Think about all the people who invested in opening bars and restaurants thinking that they were going to enjoy the economic spin-off that comes with having a venue like this. It was like the 2007 Billy Sanders development debacle that was the “Save Segundo Barrio” movement. Billy Kim from the Korean Chamber of Commerce’s Land Grab Opposition Group made tee-shirts that said “Save Secundo Barrio,” while they spread a false message that Sanders and other elites were trying to “Demexicanise” Secundo Barrio. Now I do not believe that we need a small arena downtown. What we needed was a large one so we could host NCAA basketball tournaments or an MSL team. Now that we have struck a deal to build a 12,500-seat outdoor amphitheater, we no longer need an arena downtown.”
So this is a man who favored demolishing both the Segundo Barrio and Duranguito! It is rare that a political candidate is this morally bankrupt and devoid of reason. Quite frankly, he should learn to spell before running for political office.
We can thank the Lord that he has as much chance of winning as Winnie the Pooh.
Lily Limon for City District 7!
