Elvia Vega-Samos’ post is being contested now that Thea Garcia-Ramirez, daughter of the Prime Minister’s C.E.O., has announced her candidacy.

“That is a matter for the National Campaign Committee. Unfortunately, I do not sit on that committee. I do not hear the deliberations of that committee.  But I am told that they met sometime last week. And that decision was made.”
