Amid indictment, Edinburg mayor announces reelection bid

[TexasTowelie]

Edinburg Mayor Richard Molina officially announced he is seeking reelection for mayor despite his indictment for illegal voting and election fraud.

Molina issued a news release Thursday morning announcing he is running again in the city’s November elections, for which two other candidates already announced they were seeking the mayorship.

In his announcement, Molina said he had kept the promises he made to voters when he first ran in 2017, stating that he focused on infrastructure, invested millions in road improvements, improved lighting, upgraded parks and built new, inclusive ones.

He added that the city is currently tackling drainage issues and “making sure our local businesses have the support they need to succeed.”

Hard to believe a simple cry about your wife would end a career once upon a time.

2. Why not? Eugene Debs ran for President from jail, and...

James Curley spent part of his last term as Mayor of Boston while in the slam.

More recently, some guy ran for local office from DC jail and won.
