And in more proof of the beef with the town council, it looks like Herredia - who is a four term representative - may actually face a convention challenge from Gary Greif, who is a town councilor. Heredia told us it's an annoyance more than anything else:...

"It's convention season in the UDP. You are facing a contested convention. Are you concerned?"
Hon. Manuel Heredia, Min. of Tourism
"Jules, you have to be concerned for anything. I hear that I am being challenged. I don't know the outcome of that as yet. Headquarter hasn't informed as to when my convention will be, but you know me well. I am always prepared for anything that comes. It is not easy to win me. I am always on the lookout, I am always taking care of my people and I am always up to registration transfers and everything that will come along. So whatever is a around I am prepared and ready and I know that I will be successful."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"You will have to spend a little bit of money, maybe not a little. In San Pedro everything is expensive. If you face a contested convention, aren't you just annoyed it - like really, after 4 terms and 2 terms in town council - I have to go through a convention that will cost me a few thousands?"
Hon. Manuel Heredia, Min. of Tourism
"In deed, that is a concern for me, because its unnecessary monies that I will have to spend, knowing that there is no chance for anyone that wants to contest me to win in a convention. But the monies that you will spend, you could have saved that for your general election."
