This is absolutely awesome! It would be nice to see some transparency on ALL elected officials also. Specifically police and warrant records before the election.
Thank you for your in-depth story on Freddie Duran. Freddie and I went to school together, and played in the awesome Tiger Band. He was also in choir, and always ready to entertain anyone who would listen. He was a great entertainer and just a great guy. He will be missed.
So, it went from a semi open primary to a closed selection process limited to registered democrats being eligible for selection? Interesting.
i have participated in a much smaller scope version of this same situation - about 20 years ago, as a precinct chairman of the democratic party in a rural east texas county. after the primary election, the democratic candidate for a seat on the county commission suddenly died.
So any candidate regardless of party affiliation may submit their name for consideration?
