Working Families Party say 'dirty politics' is at play in Congressional District 15

ALTON, Texas – The federal affairs director of the Working Families Party has told Congressional District 25 candidate Ruben Ramirez to stop claiming that her group is supporting him.

In fact, said Natalia Salgado, the grassroots political party is supporting Ramirez’s opponent in the Democratic Party primary runoff election, Michelle Vallejo.

“Several voters in Texas Congressional District 15 have received fraudulent get-out-the-vote texts purporting to be from the Working Families Party and urging them to vote for Ruben Ramirez,” Salgado, pictured above, said.

“Let’s be clear: we’re supporting Michelle Vallejo, a community leader and advocate who will fight against exactly this kind of dirty politics. Misinforming voters right before Election Day is unacceptable. We will be calling on the FCC to investigate, determine who is responsible, and hold them accountable.”

Their positions are a bit to the left of us Dems when they don't caucus with us, but they don't siphon votes away that we've noticed.

I call them the WTF party, but dirty tricks in general should be avoided.
