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?
here's hoping for expansion in the elephant graveyard...i can hardly wait until november 3rd.
It can join the corpses at the ******* cemetary.
It would be interesting to watch the gop party crumble the way the county democrat party did.
