"Everything that I looked up showed that I belonged in District E. This came out of left field, I did not see it coming," Olivares said,, which has not been updated with the new maps."It was very disheartening, you're giving it your all, running 24/7... and you find out that basically the rug has been pulled out from under you."
A friend and fellow candidate, Joaquin Martinez in District I, spotted her campaign materials in Tierra Park and notified her of the switch in late May. Martinez works in the District I office, so he was aware of the marginal changes to the boundaries when theyThe city moved two precincts, including Olivares', from District E into District I because the latter needed more people to fall within the required range of about 209,000 people, the average population in each of the 11 districts.
"I love that area, a lot of really good people," said Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin, the district's outgoing incumbent, who expressed sympathy for Olivares."That was the only piece of land they grabbed."
