Letty Perez-Garzoria Going Against Not Just John Villarreal, but the Hernandez Politiquera Machine

Letty Perez-Garzoria

The contest Letty Perez-Garzoria signed up for is historically a losing proposition.  She has a lot of nerve going up against an Hernandez-backed candidate with the associated politiqueras and vote-harvesting at the ready.

As we learned in the last election, most, if not all of the election judges have Hernandez connections.  Erin Hernandez Garcia overcame a huge 500 vote deficit in the primaries against Yolanda Begum by calling in the machine, bringing in van after van of seniors, disabled and infirm while illegally monitoring their choices with van driver operatives.

Ms. Perez-Garzoria knows all this.  She has watched Ernie Hernandez and others abuse our city for decades.  As recently as two weeks ago, she and Rigo Bocanegra were going door to door in Brownsville's high rise for the elderly looking for signatures to certify her campaign when the management(city employees) notified Norma Hernandez of the development, prompting the machine to send in their goons.

Ms. Perez-Garzoria will not say a negative word about John Villarreal.  It's not in her nature.  That does not mean she does not see the stranglehold corruption has on local government, politics.  She faces an uphill fight.
