Incumbent Tim O’Hare faces a challenge from Robert Trevor Buker.
We wish O’Hare, elected county judge in 2022, was willing to lead strongly from the middle and represent all of Tarrant County’s residents, not just the ones who align with his extreme politics. But he seems uninterested in constructive leadership.
For one, he can be rude and hostile to people who disagree with him, from colleagues to constituents. In one recent instance, he blocked a pastor from speaking after the pastor made a critical comment about O’Hare shushing the audience.after far-right groups suggested without evidence that there was widespread fraud in Tarrant County and beyond. Politicized election processes helpedHis tendency to land in the spotlight over hard-line policies is nothing new. In 2006, as a Farmers Branch City Council member, he was behind rules requiring prospective renters to prove their legal status in the country. The measureagainst O’Hare in 2022 and is challenging him again. We are concerned about Buker’s conduct related to a criminal case involving his son and cannot recommend him as a result. We can only hope that, in the future, a stronger, more moderate Republican will stand up to O’Hare and give voters a better choice.Dallas Morning News editorials are written by the paper's Editorial Board and serve as the voice and view of the paper.
