The UCLA report throws a glaring light on Tim O’Hare’s career-long effort to divide people and use race to pit neighbor against neighbor.
Commissioner Precinct 2 is a competitive district now, but O’Hare and local Republicans aren’t willing to run a legitimate campaign to win it.

They rejected a real political solution and instead launched a punitive attack on minority voters violating their rights and destroying their voting strength.
It’s the worst in gutter politics, but that’s where Tim O’Hare lives.
