  1. There’s something wrong with this timeline. So she was accepted to Harvard after high school, but then somewhere else she says she got a masters at Harvard and a bachelors at some school in Texas. And her child doesn’t seem like she’s that old. And was she homeless in high school along with her family? Is her remarkable story embellished?

    1. Curious your right on and I smell some corruption surfacing. not clear, vague, ambiguity = Recall or resignation some time later on. What did Mr. Paredes say at one point:

      I am sorry , I cannot recall what I said?

  2. Heard her speak. She needs to tone down the volume. Very articulate. Has a concept for where El Paso needs to go but when pressed for details falls flat. Has a huge agenda. Do not like that.

  3. Atzlan has only lived in the district for less than a year. Ask her if she has ever paid property taxes, she hasn’t. She doesn’t know the area and she doesn’t know the pain from real tax payers in the area. Look at the economical activity on dyer and piedras. It needs help. What is she going to do for the community. You need some one who is familiar with community. She talks about Chicano rights and minimum wages, she’s not running for president. She’s running for D2

  4. And she’s has no voting record. Mostly likely not registered to vote in district 2. Does not own property in district 2 and has only lived in the area for less than a year. Elpasotimes you really screwed up on your endorsement.

  5. Don’t do it D2. She doesn’t know the district. There are to many people influencing her and giving her money for political favors. Don’t do it.
