“‘I hear all too often, especially from Democrats, that they’re afraid to be in front of all of our residents,” said Seale, to the largely conservative audience. “That they’re afraid of you.

“‘I am a local organizer and activist who specializes in Electoral Politics here in El Paso, and I am running to be the County’s next Commissioner representing our Fifth District. I am known for the work I have done organizing the El Paso County Young Democrats and campaigning for Progressive and Democratic candidates throughout the county.’”

“‘From the age of seven, I have know that no one was going to give our communities what we deserve unless we are willing to fight for it’”
