New District Clerk appointed.

With all eight state district judges voting unanimously today to pick a district clerk to replace Eric Garza, they finally made a decision and chose Elvira Ortiz to be the new Cameron County District Clerk.    Ortiz previously ran for the position held by former supervisor Aurora de la Garza and lost in a runoff election against Eric Garza in May 2014.   Eric Garza happened to be deputy district clerk under Aurora De la Garza.   Eric Garza drew 5,476 votes while Ortiz drew 4,958 votes, a difference of 528 vote from 10,434 votes casted. 

I actually believed Laura Perez-Reyes was going to get selected, considering she has been with Cameron County for quiet sometime and has climbed the ranks of Cameron County fairly quickly, but not all is lost as this position is just an interim position until elections are held next year which she’ll be running for.
