'Please do not vote for me' says El Paso judge who is seeking to get his name off ballot
District Judge Luis Aguilar, who was seeking reelection to the 243rd District Court, said he wants his name removed from the ballot and urged voters not to select him when they go to the polls.
"I sent a notarized affidavit to the Democratic Party requesting that my name be removed from the ballot," Aguilar wrote in an advertisement he placed in Sunday's edition of the El Paso Times. "Unfortunately, as of today, I have been unsuccessful."
He added, "Please do not vote for me. I am not running for another term."
Aguilar, who did not respond to multiple attempts seeking comment on the race last week, drew three opponents. They are Feliciano “Felix” Castañón, an El Paso County public defender; Roberto J. Ramos, who heads the foreign prosecution unit for El Paso's District Attorney's Office; and Selena Solis, a lawyer and an El Paso Community College trustee.
El Paso County Democratic Party Chairwoman Iliana Holguin said Aguilar notified her of his decision not to run in early January. She said Aguilar did not give her a reason for his decision, other than saying he reached it after discussing it with his family.
