Yes, $67,454!
That's the amount raised by newbie Brownsville Navigation District candidate Ernesto Gutierrez as shown in his 4/04/2024 Campaign Finance Report.
Some folks really want this kid at the port.(There were indeed some movers and shakers at a recent pachanga in Rancho Viejo for Gutierez as we reported https://brownsvilleobserver.blogspot.com/2024/04/blog-post_20.html)
Well, Carlos Marin, for one, who coughed up $2500 for signs.
Interestingly, Mario Saenz, the notorious brother of Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz, was paid $1945 to "install signs for candidate."
(Nothing improper there, but Gutierrez need not expect close scrutiny from the DA's office.)
The single largest contribution, $10,000, came from Julio Grana, himself a candidate for BND commissioner in 2020.
Payouts included $5612.96 to the Riverbend Golf Club for a "fundraising tournament."

| Juan Montoya |
Curious is a payout buried deep among blockwalkers on the expense part of the report, that is, $500 to Juan Montoya of El Rrun Rrun for "advertising/marketing," yet no stories or advertisements for Ernesto Gutierrez have surfaced on El Rrun Rrun.
Did Gutierrez pay Juan NOT to write about him?
Paying Juan to remain silent is one of well-known MO's. Today it surprises no one he goes after Ruben. Ruben voted to sue Healthsmart who put Montoya on its payroll along with convicted felon Quintanilla. Lubbock got millions and BISD pay out millions to Luci and Cata's buddies. Everyone knows the felon did the work to get Luci and Cata elected so the HealthSmart lawsuit would be dropped. Everyone who helped Luci and Cata and the felon to give HealthSmart the win got a payout from BISD. It was a settlement not a jury verdict. Juan cost the taxpayers millions, not Ruben.
ReplyDeleteJuan is a legal extorter, he knows how to work the system to get paid not to write or on the contrary to write. I used to trust him until he allowed that idiot Zeke grab ahold of his blog and allowed him to post up bias articles. El run run is as crooked as the accusations they get paid to make. He is part of the problem, he is not a good person, he spreads misinformation, and he does nothing positive for this community. Juan is as selfish as it gets and it’s all just a game to him. His blog is a bias negative cesspool of mierda. I hope one day all this comes back to haunt him, it will.
