Dallas County voters May 28 will decide the next sheriff during the runoff election between incumbent sheriff Marian Brown and former sheriff Lupe Valdez.
DALLAS — In less than two weeks, Dallas County voters will decide the next sheriff during the runoff election between incumbent sheriff Marian Brown and former sheriff Lupe Valdez.
It’s an all-Democratic affair, as no Republican ran, so the winner on May 28 will run unopposed in November.“There’s a lot of issues going on that need to be corrected. And they’ve been going on for four years now, four or five years,” she responded. Valdez was first elected Dallas County Sheriff in 2004, making her the first Latina to hold that office.
She stayed in the position until 2017, when she became the Democratic nominee for Governor, but lost by a large margin to incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.Valdez pointed to a job skills program she started as sheriff that helped inmates earn a degree from a community college and find a job after getting out of jail.
“Those programs don’t exist anymore. The $4 million that were used for those programs are put into something that the county is responsible for. I think that’s not only mismanagement. It’s not taking care of the people you need to change from tax users to taxpayers,” Valdez said.Valdez told us she never thought she’d be running against Brown seven years later.Inside Texas PoliticsThe runoff election will be held May 28.
