Your legislative ballot drama is not over, mijo

Look, here’s the deal—the political scene here in the Valley, it’s always something, isn't it? We saw some serious back-and-forth this week down at City Hall, and it looks like a few familiar names are staying on the ballot despite some real strong pushes to get 'em kicked off.

Specifically, Alma and Consuelo Hernandez, two names you might recognize from past elections, beat legal efforts to boot them off the legislative ballot. This happened on Monday, April 20th. Think about that, oye. Someone really wanted them gone, but the courts said 'nah.'

Then, the very next day, Tuesday, April 21st, the Green Party governor candidate—who her *own party* called a "sham"—also survived two separate ballot challenges. You heard that right. Her own party! It’s like watching a telenovela sometimes, right?

* Alma & Consuelo Hernandez keep their spots on the legislative ballot.

* Green Party governor candidate also survived multiple ballot challenges.

* This all went down on April 20th and 21st.

What does this mean for us? It means the political landscape for the upcoming elections is still shaping up, and some of these fights are getting pretty personal. It shows you that even getting *on* the ballot is a battle in this state. Keep an eye on these races, because if this is how it starts, imagine how it’s gonna end. That's the Valley, baby — 115 degrees and we're still out here.
