"At least we'll get his sorry, corrupt ass out of Brownsville politics. Maybe the Democrats can finally start cleaning things up," opined one local observer.
Many hoped the party under new leadership could shed the distasteful image of Hinojosa, the poster boy for influence-peddling, backdoor deals and corruption.
But, when the dust settled for last spring's county-wide elections, the voters chose Sylvia Garza-Perez over Jared Hockema and John Shergold by a wide margin. Many scratched their heads not so much that Ms. Garza-Perez eked out a victory, but that she trounced her two opponents. Did Cameron County voters choose ignorantly for the one candidate with a Spanish surname?
Garza-Perez is no stranger to local politics. She worked in the Rose Gowen city commissioner campaign as a co-worker explained: "Sylvia's job was to go out into the community and create enthusiasm for the campaign, finding people willing to hold signs, etc. While she gave the impression that her charisma was generating excitement, we later found out that she was simply paying people with campaign funds."
An operative for the 2010 Ernie Hernandez county commissioner race against Ruben Pena had this observation during the closing days of the campaign: "Late one evening, I walked into the kitchen of the home we were using as headquarters. Erin and Norma Hernandez, along with Sylvia Garza-Perez were sorting out a large stash of mail-in ballots. I called Ernie that night and told him I couldn't work for him anymore."

"Jim, I have some bad news for you. My aunt, Herminia Becerra, is consulting with an attorney as I send you this. You sir are about to get sued."
While Sylvia's lineage and work history is troubling enough, it now seems that she is not above showing favoritism among Democratic candidates. Last spring, after winning her race for Democatic chair, she joined forces with the Erin H. Garcia campaign even though her opponent, Yolanda Begum, was also a Democrat.
Now, it seems Sylvia Garza-Perez is prominent in the Martin Sarkis run for City Commissioner, Position 3. While I certainly prefer Sarkis over Tony Martinez plant Debbie Portillo, Garza-Perez should not have a role in an individual campaign against another Democrat.
Recently, as I was helping a candidate friend block-walking, we knocked on several houses of elderly people who told us that they did vote for Erin Hernandez on the last election even though they did not know her, because Yolanda Begum was a Republican and if they voted for her she was going to take away their benefits, when in actuality it was the primary election and Yolanda was running as a Democrat just like Erin. This misinformation was the work of Norma Hernandez and her politiqueras

ReplyDeleteWide margin or "eked out" a victory? Which one was it. Wide margin is decisive; eked is barely, ya nutty guy!

Mr. Vasuez,
DeleteThe two possibilities were being contrasted, but then reading comprehension may not be your strong suit. Have Mrs. Vasuez read it back to you with the proper emphasis and you may get it.

I'm with Rey, Jim. he's always correct on here.

Dags,
ReplyDeleteYou didn't even notice that your hero couldn't even spell his own name. Both of you are dumber than shit.
Jim

This blog is now reflecting how the Dumbokratic Chair was chosen....by the same corruption that has long plagued this county. Sylvia continues to be a politiquera, but now has a "Position" from which she can continue past corruption. She is a pawn to Gilberto Hinojosa as the state Dumbokratic Chair. Same old same old in Cameron County. This vitriolic semantics above shows clearly how much trouble we have. When ideas are lacking, strick the opponents race, spelling, grammar. La Jaiba rules...not good sense or good ideas.
ReplyDeleteStrick or strike? Jimmy, one thing I learned about politics. Candidate's can't be trusted, and in Brownsville, no one, I mean no one, who is running for office should be trusted on anything.
ReplyDeleteGood work Jimmy, keep them honest.
Riddle me this?
ReplyDeleteSilvia is helping Martin?
Silvia and Ernie got paid from the Democratic party when they helped at the Democratic Headquarters. Sylvia got paid about 1,000 - 2,000 dollars, Ernie got money for a Van rental, and all the Obama shits he printed at his printing shop.
Why is Silvia not helping Debbie Portillo since both females are tonia's mulas?
