Brad Namdar dismissed is more than a headline. It may be an epitaph on a once promising political career for the young GOP operative.
Dallas court documents show that Namdar’s suit against the Dallas Morning News is being dismissed. It also appears he will be held responsible for court and defendant fees.
Namdar filed suit earlier this year against the Dallas Morning News and Lauren McGaughey over a story published last year. The story said Namdar had solicited sex from an escort and in at least once case not paid her.
Other Side Dallas followed this reporting and that of Current Revolt.
The accusation against Namdar led to him being suspended by the Texas Secretary of State‘s Texas Businesses Against Trafficking Program.
The combined bad news led to the Dallas Morning News to pull out of its endorsement of Namdar. It should be noted that in late 2021, Other Side Dallas referred to Namdar as the “prohibitive favorite” in the race.
Namdar would go on 660 KSKY to attempt damage control, but many said he hurt his campaign by doing the interview.
Brad Namdar Dismissed
The original suit can be seen below.
One question which is not clear is why Namdar filed suit.
Numerous local political watchers thought Brad had made a mistake, but he was being wise by biding his time.
The argument was if he stayed out of the light the stories would fade and he could run for office again.
One local conservative said privately ‘Brad Namdar dismissed himself from any future consideration.’
The source went on, “Brad can’t run again. He ruined his and Pia’s reputation while seeking sex from escorts he didnt even pay.”
Namdar’s attorney Ryan McClendon Moore stated Namdar was being shunned by local political operatives and organizations.
Brad’s wife Pia Namdar is the face of the nonprofit Adelante Texas. Pia Namdar has been publicly silent on the accusations against her husband.
Namdar has been working as General Manager of the Denton Diablos. Per the order from the court Namdar can not refile his suit and is responsible for legal fees owed to the Dallas Morning News.
