Moreno: Marquez no sabe

This is a Spanish-language commercial state Rep. Paul Moreno is running in his campaign against Democratic challenger Marisa Marquez.
It's clearly trying to capitalize on Moreno's experience and Marquez's relative youth.
The woman's voice says that Marquez "no sabe" what it took to transform Texas Western College into the University of Texas at El Paso, or to secure funding for the medical school in El Paso or to get money for the Children's Health Insurance Program. Moreno, she says, has been a fighter for El Paso.
Then, in a condescending tone, the motherly speaker says sorry "Marisita" don't feel bad, but  we're going to stick with Moreno.

Comments

What I can't figure out is why people don't want a State Rep in district 77; Moreno is worth less; I read in a blog that even a Chimp is better than Paul Moreno. Wake up El Paso; We need our state to be represented. This Moreno guy is just trying to pull the wool over our eyes. He should go teach, and not parade out there begging for sympathy. Please don't throw your vote away. We need representation in Austin; not someone that falls asleep at important meetings; A retirement age should be set on politicians also. Someone also said the only thing Paul Moreno passes is Gas, and i say Amen to that
