San Jose’s newest PAC, the Business San Jose Chamber PAC, just sent their first mailer, and the PAC is already embroiled in controversy. San Jose Chamber PAC, which broke off from the Silicon Valley Organization PAC (which confusingly enough is run by the real Chamber of Commerce), sent a mailer that features a quote implying that Sacred Heart Executive Officer Poncho Guevara had endorsed Nguyen’s candidacy for the District 7 race.
In a blog written by Guevara and titled Deception or Stupidity? Guevara states, “I DID NOT, and I WOULD NOT endorse him under ANY circumstances.” He went on to say that as a non-profit, Sacred Heart cannot endorse candidates, “and it is irresponsible for this group or any campaign to insinuate that we have.”
Guevara ended the blog by outlining 8 reasons, including Nguyen’s votes against tenant protections and affordable housing, as to why it is duplicitous to insinuate Sacred Heart’s support of Nguyen’s campaign for reelection.
