A Wake Up Call for Hurst Conservatives

A Wake Up Call for Hurst Conservatives

By

James Scott Trimm

Well Joel Downs lost the City Council election yesterday by only fifty-four votes!  The election is over, but “it” is not over.  I am confident Joel Downs will run again, and with what we have learned this time around, I think he will easily win next time.

More importantly the Joel Downs campaign has changed the face of Hurst politics.  His campaign has planted the seeds for a conservative coalition in our city which will only grow from here.

There are over 22,000 registered voters in Hurst.  State elections (including Presidential elections) have shown that since the Reagan Revolution, Hurst has remained somewhere between 55 and 60 percent conservative.  However only 1,000 to 2,000 people vote in our city elections (only 1,241 voted in this last election).  The result has been that Hurst has been run for years by tax, borrow and spend, Nanny State, gun grabbing liberals.  This is now about to change.  The conservative majority of Hurst are waking up. 

Joel Downs may have lost the election by a mere 54 votes, but he has succeeded in sounding a wake up call that will change Hurst for years to come!

Conservatives in Hurst are not going anywhere.  We are already working on plans to help us to be more organized and more networked from this point forward, so that we will be showing up in city elections in even greater numbers.  

Thanks Joel Downs for waking us up!
