From the editor: The anonymous comment published below, obviously from Democratic County Chair Jared Hockema, disputes our report that Monday's DSCC event was sabotaged by poor sound quality at the venue. (I've not listened to the live stream, but did publish a report from David A. Esqueda, who did not share Hockema's representation of the live stream.)

The broadcast of this event was handled by a local TV station. After hearing your concerns, I listened to the tape on their Fb page. Although it could be a bit louder, it is not difficult to hear. Several other stations also picked up the feed during the event, and from what I’m told that prevented the use of a loudspeaker. Also, the elderly gentleman you refer to is Davis Rankin, who is the host of KURV 710.
When you walked in and began speaking loudly from the audience, I let you know that the event was being broadcast live and that your comments were likely being picked up by the broadcast.
I did not have any role in the organization of this event, but I thought that DSCC did a great job. I am hard of hearing and did not experience any of the issues you describe. I am very proud of DSCC and all our dedicated volunteers and thank them for working on this well-attended and successful event.
Jared Hockema is a good leader and very hardworking. Did you arrive late to the event? Were you happy to be there?
