Social moderate, progressive positions, strange donations from out of state

Hayden Padgett has been a tremendous supporter of marriage equality and the Log Cabin Republicans.

We are continuing to document Padgett’s history of supporting liberal and progressive causes. Obviously, being a serial candidate, he has scrubbed much of it from his social media. Many of such topics might not be as relevant in local nonpartisan races, but they tell the tale of his deception through his various candidacies.

In a 2020 press release, Padgett also called for January 6ers to be thrown in jail and prosecuted to the “fullest extent of the law”.

Additionally, Padgett’s campaign appears to be financed in part by a large number of political donations from out of state. In fact, most of his donors are from out of state. Why has Padgett sought or been so reliant on campaign donations from people outside of North Texas to finance his campaign? Is it to give the appearance that he has broad support from a lot of small donors?

If so, then why couldn’t he find those small dollar amount donors in Collin County?

And should it also be of concern that Padgett’s in-laws have donated enormous sums of money to the DNC and democrats? One has to wonder if that would impact his thinking on matters of policy. Do we need to put another trojan horse into local office?
