Marty for Governor
The journal today reports Marty Chavez told a group of animal rights advocates at a conference that the governor needed to take a position against cockfighting if he wanted to be president. Our first reaction among friends was, the Governor should pay him for that token of political consulting advice.
It’s a good thing our great mayor of Albuquerque knows how to get elected president. Why didn’t John Kerry hire him in 2004? Hmmm…
A week ago he was ranting and raving at Judy Espinosa about parking near a non working fire hydrant. He said it was insulting to the community if they should have a fire and her parking job in the Lt. Gov’s SUV prevented a fire truck from reaching the hydrant.
The week before, he was yelling at the Lt. Governor in a Nana Booboo sort of way, telling her to keep her noise out of city business. Is that the same as saying “you’re not the boss of Albuquerque ordinances?”
So I was putting this all together in my head, though I’m sure others are making the same speculation. Is someone gearing up for a bid against Diane for Governor? I think so…
I’m sure that Diane’s record of service to the Democratic Party, and the State will carry her through that primary, plus the huge base of support (including all my friends) that she has built up. I’m not sure Marty has that many people who like him. But lets look at his credentials as a democrat for a minute.
He ran for Mayor against opposition who had support from Labor, Environmental Organizations, Indigenous Groups, and many many more…
So how is it that, a man who’s only Democratic Credentials are his party Identification thinks he’s going to beat the former State Party Chair and incredibly progressive advocate, working diligently on important Democratic issues. She has advocated for healthcare, and worked hard for a living wage, she has stood strong for a Woman’s right to choose, and believes in civil rights for all New Mexicans and Americans.
Marty Chavez said at a fundraiser once, “if they changed their position on abortion and gay marriage I’d become a Republican.”
I don’t like democrats like this, a Woman’s Right to Choose is my most passionate and important issue, and Gay rights affect me directly. But what about the issues that affect a majority of the state and city? As mayor he opposed a living wage in Albuquerque and held it up, because of his connections to the big business community. What about the fact that he isn’t interested in preserving cultural heritage all over the city, but rather in Gentrifying Albuquerque so we don’t have barrios anymore? What about the river that he has allowed to be drained along with our Aquifer in order to build build build Albuquerque, we’re practically the new Phoenix…
All I can say is my passion about supporting Diane is equal in volume to my passion about getting Marty Chavez out of elected office.
