Kennedy responds to attack mailer from PAC with counter-attack on Johnson campaign
EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- Dueling election fliers containing attacks on prominent El Paso mayoral campaigns are being sent out to El Paso voters this week.
A flier mailed by the political action committee Protect And Serve Texas PAC began arriving in mailboxes over the weekend.
In it, the group endorses El Paso Businessman Renard Johnson's campaign, and calls El Paso City Rep. Brian Kennedy "anti-police."
In a statement, a spokesperson for Johnson's campaign told ABC-7 that they did not release the mailer, and that any questions regarding it would have to be directed to the sender.
Campaign finance documents show that the Johnson campaign and Protect And Serve Texas PAC have spent money this year with the political consulting firm Murphy Nasica & Associates, with Johnson spending a total of $177,628.60 from January through the end of September.
Kennedy's campaign has responded with a mailed flier of it's own, claiming in part that Johnson's campaign is hiding behind special interest PACS and money from large donors.
