As originally published by Texas Border Business newsprint edition May 2018

Success happens over and over again, even when critics’ opinions say it is impossible. Ellie Torres, currently a trustee of the Edinburg Independent School District, recently ran a campaign against the incumbent Hidalgo County CommissionerPrecinct 4 Joseph Palacios.

Palacios had been the commissioner for Precinct 4 for the last seven years, and overall it seemed that constituents were on his side. In politics, sometimes what seems to be crystal clear, is not.

Such is the case of Torres; it appeared that Palacios was the favorite based on comments of the general public.
