Re : Susan Flores: My opponent, a devout, liberal democrat, is making statements about taxes and the 5 member board to get votes and trying to align herself with Janet White. What about her past agendas? Google her and learn who she really is. I have printed so many articles about her since last October that she has deleted off her facebook page and is hiding. Is that someone you want to represent you? I sure hope that the voters in Otero County are not basing their decision on the main issue being a 5 commission board, that is the least of the issues in the county. A commissioners main duty is the county budget, taxes and policy making, of which, she does not have any knowledge nor experience in. She never came to any of the budget meetings to learn about the county budget, the only entire commission meeting she has attended was the September one. She came for about an hour for other meetings which is usually just the presentations. I will put up my 37 years of working experience in accounting and budgeting, and my knowledge of taxes and policy making up against hers anytime. As a candidate running for county commissioner, I believe that a person should know and understand the duties of that position. What I learned is that you do not know a lot of things until you are actually the commissioner. There is so much more to being the county commissioner then showing up at a public meeting and so much more involved in the running of a county government. So it is my belief that candidates should wait until they are in office before making promises that they may not be able to keep. I also believe in the democratic process and everyone has the right to vote for who they want. It would be a privilege to continue representing the citizens of Otero County for another 4 years and I will be dedicated to doing that with integrity and accountability.
