El Paso County Democratic Party |
|
Good Morning Democrats,
I am happy to report my decision as Chairwoman, on behalf of the El Paso County Democratic Party, has been vindicated by the 8th Court of Appeals.
Below is are excerpts of the Courts of Appeals opinion and judgement:
OPINION
“This is a mandamus action invoking this Court’s original supervisory mandamus jurisdiction over elections and political party officers. Relator, Art Fierro, candidate for state representative for the Texas House of Representatives, District 79 (HD 79), contends Respondent Dora Oaxaca, chair of the El Paso County Democratic Party, is violating a ministerial duty to declare his opponent, Claudia Ordaz Perez, ineligible to run for House District 79. Fierro contends Ordaz Perez has failed to meet two residency requirements: (1) a constitutional requirement she has resided within House District 79 at least one year prior to the November 8, 2022 general election; and (2) an Election Code requirement she has resided within House District 79 for at least six months prior to the December 13, 2021, deadline to file to run in the March 2022 Democratic Primary.
We conclude Ordaz Perez satisfied the constitutional residency requirement to run for House District 79, and the Election Code provision Fierro cites as an alternative basis for ineligibility does not apply to the office of state representative. Consequently, Chair Oaxaca did not err by declining to remove Ordaz Perez’s name from the ballot at Fierro’s request.
III. CONCLUSION
PER CURIAM
January 7, 2022
Before Rodriguez, C.J., Palafox, and Alley, JJ.”
In Unity,
Dora Oaxaca
Chair, El Paso County Democratic Party

In the Spirit of Transparency and Open Communication:
The El Paso County Democratic Party Chair, Dora Oaxaca (in her capacity as Party Chair) was named a Respondent in a Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
The interest of the El Paso County Democratic Party is not in supporting any individual candidate in the primary election, but in assuring that the law is applied fairly, equally, and correctly to all candidates.

Easy and simple: no talking, no knocking on doors, you’re just dropping a voter registration card! For now, the location is TBA but as we get closer to the date, we’ll let you know where to meet. Please sign up for one of the following days:
