It Has Begun!

The education process on Aaron Pena has begun. We showed how Aaron Pena was called a sellout by St. Rep. Paul Moreno.

As Peña was walking to the podium to deliver his speech, El Paso’s Moreno
murmured “sell out” to those in earshot.

Asked afterwards why he said that, Moreno said Peña was.

“I had the opportunity to meet Peña the first day he was running for State Democratic chair. And he told me what a great Chicano he was,” Moreno explained.

“I guess he’s lied to me and he’s lied to himself and he’s lied to the people, lied to the poor folks.”

Asked if he thought Craddick would be more inclusive, more understanding of members who want to vote their districts, Moreno told the Guardian: “Hell, why should he change? He has all the power. Can you imagine a Democrat running against him in Midland? It’s terrible.”
