When Valdez won the Democrat nomination (via a plurality it ought be noted), Liberals were all aglow. She's a woman. She's Hispanic. Best of all she's gay. She's a perfect trifecta of Democrat identity politics. Among Democrats her failure to pay her property taxes may yet prove to be a resume enhancement.

AUSTIN — Democratic gubernatorial nominee Lupe Valdez, who has campaigned to close loopholes in the state's broken property-tax system, owes more than $12,000 in overdue taxes on seven properties in two counties, official records showed Thursday.

In addition, Valdez, a former Dallas County sheriff, appears to have lapses on her official financial-disclosure report: A Dallas property that she owns is not listed, and two companies listed on the filing have incorrect names on the form.

Valdez's campaign officials acknowledged that she owes taxes on several properties, but said she is paying them in monthly installments because she cannot afford to pay the total amounts, which were due at the end of January.

In a statement, she blamed Republican incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott for the fact that Texas property taxes are so high.
