Hidalgo Co. judge candidate files theft report after signs taken from parents' property
Democratic Hidalgo County judge candidate Tania Ramirez says people in Edinburg are literally slinging mud and defacing her campaign signs.
In La Joya, she says someone cut down a banner she hung from a trailer and that all over the county people are removing sandbags from her signs, causing them to fall over.
Then there is an instance in which she said someone moved one of her signs onto a sidewalk and blocked a person in a wheelchair from using the walkway. The video was circulated on social media earlier this month.
Ramirez, who said she is an advocate for people with disabilities and sidewalks, said that instead of responding to a social media post criticizing her for placing the sign there, her supporters instead just went out and removed it from blocking the sidewalks path.
Then, last Wednesday, Ramirez said the activity culminated into what she believes is criminal conduct when someone went onto a patch of property owned by her parents in the 5000 block of east Expressway 83 and stole one of her campaign banners, which was worth $400.
