The Brownsville Observer Nominates Dan Sanchez for "Father of the Year!"

Dan Sanchez at the podium with young son in tow
County Commissioner Dan Sanchez, who wants to be your next County Judge, carried his apparently asleep, young son to the podium at Monday's Valley Interfaith Accountability Session held in the metal building behind St. Eugene de Mazenod Catholic Church.

Some may assume that Sanchez simply picked the boy up for affect when his name was called to answer VIF's accountability questions, but that is not the case.

Big Sanchez clutched the sleeping little Sanchez from the moment they entered the building at 7:00 PM till they departed at 8:15. At least five times during the event the elder Sanchez lifted his 475 lb frame out of his chair without waking his boy; for hymn singing, the pledge of allegiance, the opening and closing prayers, and, of course, when he was called to the speaker's stand to give his pledge of support to the VIF's proposals. Dan may have been tempted to leave the lad with county judge opponent, Eddie Trevino, who sat next to him to the right of the stage, or with his brother, Judge David Sanchez, who sat with me and one of the local priests on the front row, but he chose instead to take personal responsibility for his son.

Not surprisingly, in this cynical age, one blog commenter to last night's article on the VIF forum accused Sanchez of pandering to his largely working class family audience by using his son as a mere prop.

Rather than question Sanchez' sincerity or make assertions about the child care situation in his family, the Brownsville Observer chooses, instead, to nominate Dan Sanchez for "Father of the Year!"

  3. The question remains Why did he bring the child in the first place and was his wife present also?

    I am still not voting for him.

  4. Father of the year? GTFOH. The fact is it was not important enough for him to get a sitter and he thought it was funny to get up there and sing his answers "si, si, siiii, si, si". So important was the forum that he had to leave early. You don't see all the prez candidates leaving debates or town halls early. And this slob has more pressing things? Like what go eat pizza. What a disgrace for Brownsville. He is not a public servant.

  6. Dan Sanchez is a family man Jim. Eddie Trevino chose to abandon his kids and wife because as he put it....she got fat. What a dick! Vote Dan Sanchez.

    1. Neither Dan Sanchez or Eddie Trevino would serve the people's interests as County Judge. Sanchez openly pandered publicly, not once, but twice to corrupt politicos Aurora de la Garza and Joe Rivera, obviously attempting to curry favor for his run for county judge. Trevino has clear ties to the United Brownsville scam that wishes to control development in the FM550 industrial corridor.
