Voter turnout is key to change the establishment politics of this town. In my humble opinion, progressives take a lot more convincing before they take the time to vote. They show up to protests but not the voting polls. Seby Haddad was given the mic at the Builders Association meeting early this week. On a side note, Haddad’s name is a very popular family in McAllen. He spoke up about how bankers are losing money due to ICE raids on construction sites. Eric Holguín was present at same meeting, and he gave good interview to a reporter. Wrote about it on my Substack.
Thanks for covering this race. As usual, you’re so spot on!
I love you Michelle. Any time we can all trash Cancun Cruz. And I always learn something from you. “Consultant Language” yup, that is why we keep losing.
The reason this is a conservative D seat is no one is working the district. If you actually engage with voters and knock on doors and not just go kiss party boss rings, you can win it. But it is hard work, it takes money, and there is no time. So who knows.
I was once asked to help GOTV in the valley but I strongly feel that local people need to GOTV. Grassroots always matters. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 It sure would be nice to have a progressive win!
