Bay Area Houston

This is disappointing.

Oscar Salazar Jr is running for Justice of the Peace Precinct 2 Place 1 (Scarsdale area) against the incumbent Justice Jo Ann Delgado in the Democratic primary but Salazar isn’t a Democrat. Salazar is the owner of Morning Kolaches. If you want great Kolaches that is the place to be. According to the Houston Chronicle, who has endorsed Judge Delgado, there is no requirement to be a lawyer to run for a Justice of the Peace:

Challenger Oscar Salazar, Jr. is a Marine veteran who owns a chain of kolache shops. He doesn’t have a law degree, but JPs aren’t required to have one. Delgado isn’t a lawyer either, but she came to the bench after working as a clerk in the courts for 23 years, including ten years as a chief clerk for JP Richard Vera in the 1980s.  

Salazar hasn’t voted in a Democratic primary. He voted in the Republican primary in 2016 and I can only guess who he voted for. That should disqualify Salazar but our primaries are open and anyone including a trumper can file.

And one did. Delgado has been doing a great job. Vote for Delgado if you are in that precinct.
