Reno City Councilman Miguel Martinez has responded to our concerns after a man who had appeared on his promotional campaign materials and in many joint photos expressed Holocaust denialism when he recently reposted a City of Reno announcement on his public Facebook digital creator page.
“I denounce all forms of antisemitism and discrimination. What others think or say is not in my control, but what is in my control is showing up each day and making sure that I advocate for all communities. This comes in the form of my own words, actions, and votes,” the Ward 3 councilman responded by email.
The post a reader alerted us to by Jerry Martinez called the City of Reno honoring Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day “WACK,” adding “It was never 6 million btw. There were no gas chambers. It’s all theater.”
His feed which also contained many homophobic and anti-trans posts now only has a cover photo and a half dozen photos visible to us.
