Daniel Hare, 39, met with volunteers Tuesday at the Waco Hippodrome, launching in earnest his campaign to become McLennan County's next district attorney.

Hare is running as in independent in hopes of facing Republican nominee Barry Johnson, who defeated incumbent Abel Reyna last week.

Reyna mistakenly made his approach to prosecuting Twin Peaks defendants too complicated, said Hare, director of employer relations and engagement at the Baylor University Law School. The May 2015 shootout at Twin Peaks left nine bikers dead and dozens injured, and Reyna orchestrated the arrest of 177 people at the restaurant that day on charges of engaging in organized criminal activity.

"The District Attorney's Office should have determined who is most culpable in regard to criminal activity, gone after them hard and made their cases," Hare said. "There were acts of violence, assaults, murders, but the person now holding this office began at the outer rings, with conspiracy. He started from the outside and worked his way in, and I believe that was backward. Go after the acts themselves and work from there."

Hare said if he is elected, he will meet with the attorneys in the DA's office "and put all the options on the table, start with a clean slate" regarding the Twin Peaks saga that has dominated headlines and the resources of the office since the deadly brawl took place.
