Drop out Jeff
Sexual Violence Accused; Throw in the Towel…
Joe Monahan Broke the stories weeks ago and the Tribune picked it up this past weekend. Privy to more rumors than most, I had an idea of what it was before the tribune hit, but said nothing until serious charges could be made. Now they have. It doesn’t matter if he is guilty or not, in fact it doesn’t matter if criminal charges are ever filed. Jeff Armijo needs to withdraw his name from the race for State Auditor. The Democratic Party can’t afford the demographic nightmare.
This is a majority minority state, and though we for the most part get along really well, many people believe we are on the brink of major race relations disasters soon. This will only add to it. Jeff is another Hispanic Democratic Man, (Robert Vigil, Michael Montoya) to be charged with some ethical violations. This just means that the state is going to continue to see Hispanic men, and in politics, Democratic ones as bad guys without much provocation.
I like Jeff Armijo, he is a nice guy, and I’m sure he’d be a fine State Auditor. But this is no longer about him, it’s about the Party. It’s about the State.
Jeff Armijo, you’re a great guy, and maybe someday you’ll make an amazing elected official. But in the meantime, do what is best for the Party, and withdraw your name.
