Ask the Incumbent: Chris Canales | El Paso City Council District 8
When you're asking voters for another four years, the conversation changes. There are no longer just campaign promises to discuss. There's a record. District 8 City Representative Chris Canales joins me for The More You Know: Ask the Incumbent to talk about his time on El Paso City Council, the decisions he's made, the votes he's taken, what he believes he's accomplished—and what he still wants to get done. This conversation looks at what governing actually looks like once the campaign is over: making decisions with limited resources, weighing competing priorities, listening to constituents who don't always agree, changing course when circumstances change, and being accountable for the decisions you've already made.
We also spend time talking about mental health and mental illness in El Paso, including homelessness, the Opportunity Center/Welcome Center, intervention before someone reaches a crisis, and how smaller nonprofits, grassroots organizations, advocates and people with lived experience can have a meaningful voice in these conversations. An incumbent has a record, and voters have the opportunity to examine it. Listen to the conversation. Verify the information.
Compare the candidates. Make your own decision.

From Inside City Hall to the Ballot: Jesse Moreno | District 6 EPTX
Jesse Moreno has already spent years inside El Paso City Hall. Now he wants a seat at the Council table. In this episode of The More You Know, Jesse joins me to talk about what he learned working behind the scenes in City government—and why he believes that experience has prepared him to represent District 6 himself. We talk about what he believes District 6 is missing, taxes and City spending, infrastructure, economic development, transparency, working with other members of Council, and what it actually takes to move an idea from a campaign promise to City policy.
We also get into the other side of having City Hall experience: independence. When you've worked for elected officials and built relationships inside the system, how do voters know the decisions you make will be your own? Jesse gets the opportunity to address that question, criticism surrounding his candidacy, and what he wants voters to understand about who he is beyond any one issue. No endorsement. No picking a candidate for you. Hear them out. Look at the record. Ask questions. Then decide for yourself.

[…] So it doesn't need to be perfect. Mental health is not about perfection, it's about improvement. You see, oftentimes you pick up these ways of coping as children or as young people throughout our lives. And we begin to practice those ways. We begin to practice these coping strategies. And sometimes they don't work. Sometimes they come through spaces and ways that in that child's mind, we do the best that we can. And so we need help sometimes to learn new ways, to practice new ways. And I'm sure you musicians know that the first time you picked a guitar or a drum or whatever, you probably weren't that great.
