(Ed.'s Note: Like a barnacle, or mistletoe, JP 2-1 Linda Salazar has beenin public "service" for the majority of her adult life. From court administrator to justice of the peace, Salazar has been on the public dole for three decades. Now, as the Cupoid of Cameron County JPs, she averages about 600 marriages a year. At $250 a pop, that's more that's $120,000, more than double her annual $53,000 salary.
(Under Texas law, every penny of that money stays in Linda's pockets. The county gets nothing. The $82 fee the couples pay to the Cameron County Clerk for the marriage license is the only money the county gets.)
Her most recent effort to install one of her sons – Mark Anthony Cortez – as a trustee on the board of the Brownsville Independent School District failed miserably when the voters rejected his candidacy in favor of Drue Brown. Even Catalina Presas-Garcia got more votes than he did. Salazar has been the subject of several Texas Commission Judicial Conduct complaints. On several occasions, she sat in on cases involving her son, a no-no for those sitting on the bench.
Now we understand that at least two candidates will challenge her at the ballot box in 2020. One is Cindy Hinojosa, an intelligent, educated and dedicated Democrat who happens to be married to Texas Democratic party chairman Gilberto Hinojosa. Salazar has never faced a formidable opponent like Hinojosa and she is hearing the footsteps already.
Another is Fred Arias, a retired federal lawman who recently announced on his Facebook page that he wants her robe. Is this the beginning of the end for Salazar? We have a feeling she might not get to celebrate 32 years in 2020.)

Cindy Hinojosa? LOL
She gets the system to work for her, she doesn't work for the system. She gets away with it and no one can stop her.
Juan, can you explain how marketing her office and attracting folks getting married to come by her court and bring money into County coffers is a bad thing? You've got me stumped on this one Juan.
Pure baloney hope the IRS folks are on to her with her extra salary of over $160k wedding fees, does she even report that or because it pure CASH she dont?
I like her chanclas
THIS B___H ISN'T WORTH A SHIT...SUCKING OFF THE TAX PAYERS AND THE MARRIAGE FEES. NOT EVEN PAYING TAXES ON THOSE FEES ON EARNING SHE MADE WHILE PERFORMING A SERVICE!!! AREN'T SERVICES TAXABLE???? COME ON VOTERS IT'S TIME GET HER OUT OF OFFICE JUST LIKE YOU ALL DID WITH THE DRUNK COPPLEHEAD WHORE STATE REPRESENTIVE WHO LIKES DRIVING DRUNK LIKE THE DRUNK FORMER STATE DISTRICT JUDGE AND THOSE OTHERS WHO LOST TO SOME OF THE NEW COMERS IN THE BUSINESS!!!! CHANGE IS GOOD LET'S DO IT AGAIN WITH THIS B____H!!!!!!
Its time that this "NACA" should leave!
I just saw her last week photoshop does wonders
For all you stupid Mexicans and the uneducated voters. At least JP salazar is in her office 8 or more hours a day and more assessable to the public than most of the elected officials. so what if she conducts more marriages than the others justice of the peace. she is there in her office more than the others. the stupid voters elect an attorney Johnathon Gracia whos never in his office because he's running his law office but he's reaping from the county benefits at the tax payers expense.
Yep the 2020 elections will be interesting for this race. we are going to see the democratic party split on this one. Cindy Hinojosa pretty much in control of this party and Linda will see who are the true friends of hers or the party. I f Cindy wins its a victory for Gilbert Hinojosa and if Linda manages to win its a total defeat for those hard core democrats that support gilbert. am voting for Fred Arias an independent and one not associated with the corrupt democratic party.
Para el pendejo que escribio-"For all you stupid Mexicans and the uneducated voters".
Just because of that statement I will NOT vote for this JP and many of my friends and a lot of readers will NOT vote for this jp thanks salazar support for showing us the light
