GOP Nominee for Dallas County Judge Quits the Race

[TexasTowelie]

Former Rowlett Mayor Todd Gottel filed for and won the Republican nomination for Dallas County Judge. However, Gottel apparently didn’t like his prospects against the highly regarded Democratic incumbent County Judge Clay Jenkins. Earlier today, Gottel quit the race.

Bottom-of-the-Barrel Replacement, Brian Hutcheson

Gottel didn’t abandon the ballot because Dallas County Republicans had a better candidate standing by. They were forced to reach all the way to the bottom of the barrel to pull out disgraced Republican Justice of the Peace Brian Hutcheson as their new candidate.

Who’s Brian Hutcheson? He’s the Dallas County JP who was just removed from the 2018 primary ballot because his candidate petitions were filled with so many fraudulent names and other inaccuracies that he couldn’t meet the minimum 250 needed to qualify.

So, just to be clear: Dallas County Republicans switched out a candidate who quit with a disgraced replacement who was ruled ineligible to run as JP. Hard to see the quitter for a cheater strategy paying off for Dallas Republicans.

The cheapskate bailed out like a penny-pinching Republican.
