Puerto Rico official says governor’s office must stop using slogan that looks like electioneering

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Election officials in Puerto Rico say that the governor’s office must stop using the slogan “Making things happen” to promote the administration’s work because it looks like election campaigning. The phrase can no longer appear on ads launched with public money by the administration of Gov. Pedro Pierluisi, who is seeking a second term in an election this year. The opposition Popular Democratic Party has challenged the administration’s use of the phrase. Walter Vélez, who oversees the election comptroller’s office, says the slogan could allude to both achievements and goals, and thus should not be used. Pierluisi spokeswoman Sheila Angleró says the governor’s office is evaluating the decision.
