A Look at Dan Haggerty
There is an opportunity to get a different voice and get rid of an entrenched career politician.
I'm talking about Republican County Commissioner Dan Haggerty.
He's known as Dr. No.
While the guy is very popular in the Democratic Party, let's not forget the other side of happy-go-lucky, back-slappin', wise-cracker.
The other side of that equation is the fact that Haggerty has said some very biggoted statements over the years and no one has ever called him on his shit. The videos below show just a small taste of Commissioner Haggerty.
Aside from some of the things he's said, let's not forget laptop gate and some of the policy suggestions he's advocated for.
Haggerty recently advocated for the elimination of sheriff's patrols in the county.
Haggerty was one of the commissioners who hired the former medical examiner that was so controversial.
Sources in the Mexican American Bar Association indicate that Haggerty compared MABA to the Klan.
When speaking before the Rio Grande Adelante organization, a gay political organization in town, Commissioner Haggerty spoke about the first time he's heard about that organization and mentioned that he'd heard about them at some event in town and made reference to the Tigua's. He proceeded to make some joke about indians that represent just how disconnected to this community he has become.
We need to send Haggerty a message. It's not funny anymore. It's no longer entertaining.
Our community deserves better, our community deserves real leadership on the commissioner's court.
