Candidates Addresses in Relation to Each Other in the District
Susie Byrd in pants !
This probably the best choice among the fools.
Being an environmentalist doesn’t mean your qualified to run D2.
Not a good choice. Has an agenda and calls people names when he doesn’t agree with them.
I see he belongs to a Quaker group (Society of friends) as well. What does that entail besides stringent Quaker-like behavior and emphasis on others to follow the same pattern? The group is El Paso Quakers that he leads. Jim Tolbert has a “susie byrd” agenda and it will violate your freedom of property and using resources.
The man is vindictive and mean with an ego to match. Not a good choice.
Que lastima, you described Peter Pan from district one. He is Ortega in a jock
