In 2014, I made a last-minute effort to bring justice to our community in the form of a write-in campaign for district attorney. More than 6,000 people voted for me and my gratitude cannot be overstated.
Once again, I call upon the good people of McLennan County to demonstrate your commitment to justice in our community by voting Barry Johnson for district attorney.
If you’ve followed any news this past year, you are well versed with the numerous accusations leveled against McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna. These have been downplayed by the DA as mere musings of “disgruntled former employees” as well as motorcyclists swept up in the indiscriminate Twin Peaks dragnet of 2015 and their attorneys. However, voters would do well to remember that it was a state assistant attorney general working beside Reyna — not a defense attorney — who was subsequently recorded candidly stating that our DA cannot be trusted and that Mr. Reyna is deluded.
Our community surely understands it’s not just the former first assistant district attorney who went to the FBI to report wrongdoing on Mr. Reyna’s part. The current first assistant district attorney and a current assistant district attorney also went to the FBI to report that Mr. Reyna was in essence swapping dismissals for campaign contributions.
It’s vital, too, for the public to recall that on no less than four occasions now, Mr. Reyna had the opportunity to address accusations of corruption against him, under oath, in a court of law — certainly a challenge one might expect him to pursue given all his campaign talk of accountability. Yet on all four occasions Mr. Reyna recused his office, or completely dismissed the charges against these “dangerous biker gang members,” rather than allow the courageous whistle blowers to bring the truth

Is there any polling on this race? Re-electing Reyna seems inconceivable, but from a distance it’s hard to know how local politics rolls.
The Reyna cheerleading squad has been mighty quiet of late.
I truly hope they put Reyna out to pasture. Waco is already on the hook for gazillions from this delusional a$$hat.
After he (holefully) loses the primary and is gone, I hope the new DA charges him criminally.
I suspect that many of them have worn out their tongues licking Reyna’s filthy boots.
By the way, IBTG.
And S6
Heard that one of those rode the lighting
There’s one or two on FR that were evidently scared by loud motorcycles as kids who would vote for Reyna again and think they were doing good....
Hmmm
Appears so.
Oh well. That one always sided with greater power for the central government on every issue.
