We acquired a copy of the professional calendar of City Rep. Alejandra Chavez through a public information request, covering the period from January 7, 2025, when she assumed office, through March 22, 2026.
Here are some of the notable events we found:
1. Rep. Chavez met with Congresswoman Veronica Escobar or attended her events seven times, including on April 16, 2025 at a meeting to discuss the “Escobar Launch.” Presumably that refers to Escobar’s reelection campaign and it is marked “hush hush.”
2. Chavez met with Josh Hunt twice: once on the 19th floor of WestStar Bank Tower on April 2, 2025 and again on August 14, 2025 in the Mayor’s Office.
3. She celebrated Beto’s birthday in Rep. Acevedo’s office twice: on February 1, 2025 and on February 1, 2026. This must be a sacred day!
4. She had two Debt Plaza meetings: one on September 4, 2025 and the other on March 10, 2026. In addition, She met with Tracy Yellen, President of the El Paso Downtown Debt Plaza Foundation, on March 14, 2025.
5. She attended two events involving County Judge Ricardo Samaniego: on April 30, 2025 and January 28, 2026.
6. She met with Commissioner David Stout on August 15, 2025. She met with Commissioner Coronado on January 16, 2025 and attended his block party the following May 24. She met with Commissioner Butler on April 3, 2025. She never met with Commissioner Iliana Holguin.
7. She met with or attended the events of State Sen. César Blanco six times.
From her calendar, it is clear Rep. Chavez is plugged into the “Escobar machine” and that she goes out of her way to meet with key Democrats and attend their events even though the position of City Council Representative is strictly nonpartisan.
We like monitoring the calendars of local politicians and will continue to do so.
