Item 14 of the City Council Agenda for June 23 reveals that Alejandra Chavez, City Representative of District 1 and a prominent member of the Oligarchy Caucus, recently raised $55,457 from only 37 individuals.
We all recognize the most prominent names: Gaddy, Porras, Mora, Cardwell, Aguilar, Goodman, Spier, Burton, Rubin, Hunt, Dipp, Foster, Houghton, Robison, Francis, Jobe, Castro, Margo, Fernandez, Osborn, Karlsruher, and Escudero.
Of course, Chavez voted for a property tax increase without blinking and she will do it again. She believes in large “capital improvement” projects and is totally committed to the Debt Plaza. She has no compunction about issuing large bonds and spiking our debt.
In short, she supports anything her elite contributors desire, no matter the cost.
Thankfully, she is being challenged this November by Dr. Sam Armijo, a fierce fiscal conservative who holds a PhD in Materials Science from Stanford University, was General Manager of Global Nuclear Fuels for General Electric, administered $500 million in orders, and has more financial acumen than the Mayor and all eight members of City Council combined.
We asked him why he is running for office and he told us “I want El Paso to be fiscally sound with the lowest tax burden possible. I want City spending focused on essential services and not on entertainment projects such as the Deck Plaza.”
Armijo will represent the taxpayers of District 1.
Chavez represents whoever gives her the most money.
