The Persistent Rumor: Gowen Pinch Hitting for Martinez in Mayor's Race

City Commissioner Rose Gowen
A political operative, wearing a green polo shirt with a "Pace" logo, was sure of it:  "Tony is not running.  Gowen will file at the last minute to run for mayor."

Yet another politico referred to the revelation as a "persistent rumor." Yes, Martinez has announced his re-election bid for mayor, but not filed.  He's busy planning his second self-applauding, elitist "State of the City" event.  

Interestingly, the 2015 version of the "State of the City" was announced two days after our Public Information Request to determine the whereabouts of the $11,246 balance left over from the 2013 event was emailed to the city.  At the time, City Manager Charlie Cabler stated that the balance would be used for "next year's event" or "given to charity."

Gowen, who prevailed over Garden Park's Roberto Uresti, 2097-1486 in the 2013 City Commissioner At-Large "B" race, is perceived as a weaker candidate than Martinez.

"It will be a William Garza-Rose Gowen runoff," stated Mr. Pace.

The other politico laughed at that, not thinking much of Garza's chances.  "I see it as Ahumada and Gowen in the runoff."
