Single-Party County

The Monitor story about incumbent state Rep. Mando Martinez's wife challenging him in the Democratic Primary also mentions other candidate filings.

The most significant fact in that article, however, is that the Hidalgo County Democratic Party fields 47 candidates for its primary, while the Hidalgo County GOP can't find anybody to run for office locally.

C'mon, Republicans; give people a reason to show up to the polls for the general election in November. If you don't, the Democrats will continue taking Hidalgo County voters for granted.
