Shame. Monday night Board Member Ortiz came to our meeting pretending to be a Democrat. By Tuesday, she was showing her true colors and endorsing a Republican for county clerk.
As we watch the president undermine our democracy on national television, send ICE to kill American citizens, and threaten to put federal agents at polling places, we know the Republican Party is opposed to our rights. We are ashamed to see supposed “Democrats” betraying our immigrant community, our disabled community, and our fellow Americans who believe in free and fair elections by supporting a candidate who has worked tirelessly to undermine our rights and restrict access to voting.
Her actions support Donald Trump, his loyalists in the county clerk’s office, and their efforts to put ICE agents at polling places. It’s time for her to make it official and sign up as the Republican she is.
