Candy Evans covert campaign seems to be in full cycle as she repeats the mistakes of Barry Wernick from 2021.
Earlier this week a post on Nextdoor was made by Tina Lewis.
Ms. Lewis is not on Candy Evans’ campaign team, but she does appear to have access to Ms. Evans’ Facebook page. She first posted the screenshot below, before posting again the next day cropping out the connection to Ms. Evans’ campaign.
Candy Evans Covert Campaign Repeats Past Mistakes
This is not an egregious campaign violation, but it is a repeat violation of the conservative faction in the Park Cities area.
In 2021, Barry Wernick’s campaign team admitted to doctoring Facebook photos during his run for city council.
In 2021, local Republican women also quietly voiced concern that Ms. Evans was not prepared for city council.
Three confirmed local Republicans believed she lacked the policy chops to compete with better equipped candidates like Jaynie Schultz.
“She can barely stay on message,” said one.
Another complained, “Candy Evans is a dilettante who can’t organize a two car motorcade.” She continued, “Evans would destroy conservative credibility at the horseshoe.”
Evans campaign focus has been singularly on the $10M set-aside budget for Dallas Police Department‘s overtime budget. It is not clear Evans is even campaigning on any other issue.
