’s new top elections official will soon begin, as county leaders formally accept Heider Garcia’s resignation as election administrator.
“The last time the county hired an elections administrator, there were not a lot of resumes that were sent in. Unfortunately, there were not a lot of qualified people,” O’Hare said., Garcia said differences with newly elected Judge O’Hare influenced his decision. Speaking with reporters Tuesday, O’Hare was asked to clarify what differences there were in"formulas."“I don’t think it’s appropriate for an elections administrator to go out into a parking lot, take pictures of someone’s vehicle, send it to members of the press. I think that’s inappropriate,” he said.
“Nothing was done to help this person who feared for her safety and couldn’t control of the room,” he said. “The Republican party called Mr. Garcia and said, 'hi, we got this going on. We need you to do something.' The answer was, 'what do you want me to do about it?' That’s not OK. That’s not acceptable.”At the meeting, public comment was open for anyone who wished to speak on the resignation. Some commended Garcia’s work.
