Jeff, remain trustworthy and good on your word...
SO I was all set to write about my office Comrades here at LCV today, and then I got a phone call. This is the new news, and so the office intros will wait until tomorrow (which is better anyway because I get a picture for them all tomorrow to put with their little bios)
Jeff Armijo, announced today that he wasn’t going to withdraw his name from the ballot, followed by a statement by Chairman Wertheim that his actions and statements on August 29th created a vacancy on the ballot, and that the State Central Committee will be meeting on Saturday in order to fill that vacancy.
I personally, as a member of the State Central Committee, am here and now, committing my vote and support to Representative Hector Balderas. He is qualified, currently elected, and energetic to take the seat, and to win the race.
Jeff Armijo, if he wasn’t before, is currently driven completely and totally by his ego. He obviously has no care for the party whatsoever. What candidate in their right mind would do such a thing? I can understand that, ok if he was positive he was innocent, and he thought it would be proven, then he would want to stay on the ballot. I thought at the time, that it was a bad idea, but could see how he justified it in his head.
Then he met with the Governor, came out of the meeting, and said it was in the best interest of the Party, and the State, not to mention his family, that he with draw his name form the ballot. So going back on his word now, is a ridiculous idea, and quite frankly dangerous.
Jeff, you need to do the right thing. You made a promise, to the Party Leadership, the Democrats of this state, and the voters of this state.
Jeff, I’m asking you, and asking people from the state central committee and the Democrats across the state who are interested in a victorious November 7, to please call Jeff Armijo and ask him to resign.
