Sheriff Lupe Valdez’ campaign manager Kirk McPike said Monday that Republican voters showed strong reservations about GOP candidate Lowell Cannaday’s credentials by forcing him into an embarrassing runoff with former Sheriff Jim Bowles. “Despite the fact that he spent over a quarter of a million dollars and had the support of the entire Republican establishment, Mr. Cannaday struggled to win his own primary,” McPike said.

McPike made the comments on the heels of a poll released by the Cannaday campaign, detailed earlier on Dallas Blog, that claims the two candidates are in a dead heat.  McPike noted that Valdez won more votes in the Democratic primary than all of the Republican candidates combined in their primary and said she is focused on issues as the general election campaign begins, such as continuing to turn around problems at the county jail.
