I have not been a fan of Brenda Gunter as mayor and would really like to see some viable opponents file to run. Not knowing the one other candidate who has filed to run, I went to her Facebook page to find out who she was. The only thing I came away with is that she needs to present a much more professional picture of herself to be taken seriously as a candidate. It would have been nice to come away with more information than the pride she has in her breast implants. This IS a small West Texas town and we don't elect women who look like they might have worked in Brenda's museum "back in the day."

You have plenty of time to discovery who she is and judging a person by their appearance is sophomoric. The photo that you claim needs to be more professional is actually telling you that she is a genuine unconceited  person and that is a good trait. If you don't like her then don't vote for her but at least give her the benefit of any doubt.
