"This is utter nonsense," said a source close to Mrs. Elizondo. "She is trying to keep her family together through all her husband's legal troubles and the last thing she needs is to get involved in politics."
What makes the rumors even more loathsome is the fact that Delia Saenz is the wife of Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz, who tried to prosecute her husband on six counts of computer security breach. A jury found the frormer fire chief not guilty Sept. 18.
He also faces a separate indictment accusing him of theft and misapplication of fiduciary duty over allegations he stole from the firefighters association. He has also pleaded not guilty to those charges.
"The last thing Cindy needs is to get involved in politics and challenge Saenz's wife by running against her for TSC trustee," said the source close to the Elizondos. "She is too busy trying to keep her family together. Whoever started this rumor was way off the mark."
Still unconfirmed is the other report in a local blog that Mary Rey has been recruited to run against TSC chair Adela Garza. The initial rumor had Cindy Elizondo and Ray running as a ticket against the incumbents.
