Truthfully, she should include the 28 years her boss, Solomon Ortiz, languished in Congress. Ortiz had the reputation of using his office for personal gain and setting the bar in the House of Representatives for junkets to exotic locations, usually the Far East. Ms. Saenz-Blanchard worked 20 years for Ortiz in several positions, becoming his Chief of Staff in 2008. Eventually the district tired of Ortiz' nonservice and traded him for a less than charismatic Republican from Corpus Christi. In a personal conversation Saenz-Blanchard seemed aware of her challenge to distance herself somewhat from Ortiz.<br /><br /> <br /> Local dreamscape artist Karl Julius Lieck designed the campaign sign with subtle symbolism and emphasis on the first name DENISE, which he said was intentionally reminiscent of another female candidate recognized by one name, HILLARY. Denise is winsome, personable and convincing. In Nena's video below Denise introduces her campaign staff. She mentions local real estate broker Larry Jokl as one who constantly urged her to run. Jokl seemed to be orchestrating the event, paternally by the candidates side. He described his role in the campaign to me as "the janitor" while handing me his business card and requesting that I send any photos or commentary to him.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lZgQhIzRtB8/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lZgQhIzRtB8?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lZgQhIzRtB8?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><br /><br /><strong> </strong> </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4696772328771334084-4483757763932219539?l=meanmisterbrownsville.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
