Matanza in Valencia County

Let the campaign season begin! The annual Matanza in Valencia County was well underway when I got there about 11:00AM on Saturday. This is a huge event every year with all sorts of folks showing up, including political candidates. Chicharrones, red chile, beans and tortillas rule over this event with the diners voting on the best food.



Surprisingly, there seemed to be only two of us statewide candidates there getting signatures. Geno Zamora, candidate for Attorney General and me were there with our volunteers getting signatures on our petitions. There were a lot of local candidates there too.

This is the kind of thing that is a lot of fun during a campaign. Although it was cold and windy, people made the most of it.
