TMF camp responds to Strother R&D piece about the Menendez vs Martinez Fischer race

“…there is only one real way to settle this dispute and that may take a little time.”

Editor’s note: Following Thursday’s publication of an R&D Department piece written by Colin Strother, a strategist from the Jose Menendez Campaign, the campaign of Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer wished to respond. Below is the response, in full, submitted by strategist Roger Garza – SB

"This is the exact sort of thing I would expect a consultant to write when they are trying to hide the fact that TLR and Republican operatives delivered the SD-26 election for Jose Menendez. The truth is, there's no response to fiction especially desperate and defensive fiction— Strother doesn’t rely on any scientific data and not even simple math.

Nor does he use any real numbers like the nearly $700,000 spent by TLR or 6,307 Hard Rs who voted for Jose. I guess there is only one real way to settle this dispute and that may take a little time.

But until then don't take my word for it, just look at the tweets of Republican political consultants like Jordan Berry. While Team TMF has no love for Jordan, we respect that he owns up to his work unlike Strother who once again takes credit for the hard work of others. He’s shameless.”
