Midlothian’s Matt Martin famously asked, “how can the most Republican area in our county produce some of the most liberal city councilmen?” That’s a paraphrase quote on what he said, but the idea is the same.
Western Ellis County is the hub of Republican politics. He who wins Midlothian precincts is virtually assured of victory in the countywide race. City and local politics aside, here’s a resource guide for the GOP leadership on the west side of Ellis County:
Midlothian Voting Precincts + Chairmen:
Precinct 101: Alan Gell
Precinct 102: Melody Cawthorn
Precinct 107: Tom Hall
Precinct 108: Marilyn Barnes
Precinct 142: Duff Hale
Ovilla Voting Precincts + Chairmen:
Precinct 103: Charlie Morton
Precinct 137: Jack Hood
Precinct 138: Vacant
Maypearl Voting Precincts + Chairmen:
Precinct 112: Unknown/vacant
Precinct 118: Anita Blackwell

I find it ironic that Matt Martin, a writer who, in the past, sometimes takes the conservative side on Midlothian Ellis County Observer issues, would make statements regarding the legalization of marijuana. Certainly you don’t expect the respectable citizens of Midlothian to take his quotes seriously?
Midlothian is a family oriented, predominently Christian (whether some writers like it or not, it is a fact), and conservative community. This is what makes Midlothian special and brings people together in common causes which will benefit the community and look after the needs of the citizens. This is a great place to raise children and most Midlothians aim to keep it that way. My husband and I, like the majority of Midlothians, realize the devasting affects drug use would have on the community, the children, and on a larger scale, society in general.
When Matthew Martin, the owner of midlothiancitizens.com, (whois.net) a political website, makes such comments regarding legalizing marijuana, there is a risk of diminishing credibility of the local political site. He is definitely entitled to his opinion and freedom of speech but must realize that most Midlothians would never support such legislation.

Is it true that Mr. Redding has a drug conviction in his criminal record?
