Norma Chavez speaks to followers on Facebook

State Rep. Norma Chavez, who lost her bid for reelection Tuesday night, has posted a statement on her Facebook page thanking her family and the voters of House District 76.

Assistant County Attorney Naomi Gonzalez defeated Chavez by 360 votes in a runoff election for the seat. 

Below is the statement posted by Chavez tonight:

Thank you family & constituents of Dist. 76 for the opportunity to represent Dist. 76. The voters have made their decisions. I stand ready to end my term doing my job for the people. I called Rep. Elect Gonzalez LAST NIGHT, congratulated her & offered to share legislative history on gaming issues important to the Tiguas. My sadness I won't be there on the House floor. ADELANTE! Gracias Dolores for standing with me!

I'm not a Norma Chavez fan, but it's time to stop beating her down. She's out, but, but, with a $40k a year pension, a college degree and with her attitude she'll end up a lobbyist making some good money. Just say goodbye to her and hope Ms. Gonzales can do some good things for El Paso.

I was so pissed to see she will get over 40k in pension for the rest of her nasty life.

How many people do you know who can do a job, a part time job no less, for fewer than 20 years, and get that type of pension? Even cops and firefighters and military have to do it longer! What a sham for the people of Texas. More of my tax dollars down the crapper.

I think she will do a good job of continuing to hang out at the Pershing Inn and getting so drunk she will continue to slobber all over herself, falling off chairs, and making a fool of herself as she always has.

Good riddance! All she did up there in Austin is act up and fight with her colleagues. It's sad to see that she'll be receiving a pension for being such a disgrace to our city and quite a tacky woman. She got her Karma for being so low down and making her opponent's personal life an issue..
She'd be a good lobbyist doing what she does best lying, dirty underhandedness and shady as they come.
