Candidate Sam Morgan is the owner of El Paso Conceal and Carry. “The average person feels as though they have been regulated to the sideline; that they don’t matter in the city of El Paso; that they don’t have a representative that has a strong enough presence or voice to command things that we need out here in the Northeast,” Morgan said.

Candidate Shane Haggerty is a member of the Ysleta Independent School Board of Trustees. “The No.1 thing talking to community members is our streets. Our streets out here are horrible. The city was given $218 million and a plan to get in there and fix all the streets, and it hasn’t been done. I don’t think even a quarter of that money has been spent, so our streets are still horrible,” Haggerty said.

The runoff election is June 10th.
