SocraticGadfly: Vote Lupe Valdez for Dallas County Sheriff

Vote Lupe Valdez for Dallas County Sheriff

No, she’s by no means perfect. She’s not even close.

But, the campaign, at least, of GOP opponent Lowell Cannaday, or else the Dallas County GOP, is making a collective ass of itself down here in Cedar Hill.

Every October for 71 years now, Cedar Hill has held a big downtown festival called Country Day on the Hill. It starts with a parade led by a flag honor guard, then the King and Queen of Country Day.

Well, Cannaday’s staff, or county GOP, whichever, asked if he could lead the parade. They then offered to throw in nominal chump change money. And, have been intolerably “persistent” ever since…

Ever since April, when this request first came up.

That said, if Valdez wins, I hope she does the smart thing and announces this will be her last term.

And, for the 944th time, this is why it’s stupid to elect sheriffs.
