Jenkins for judge; bathroom flap

Jenkins for judge

It was a great honor for me to run for judge of Parker County Court at Law No. 2, the seat now held by Curtis Jenkins. Unfortunately, I didn’t make this runoff.

This election is still very important to me and I remain very interested in its outcome. In our courts almost daily as an attorney, I feel very strongly about whom I want on our benches making decisions about my clients and our fellow residents.

This is a misdemeanor court, often filled with first offenders. It’s important to have a judge who understands that.

My endorsement is clear and without reservation for Curtis Jenkins. He has a passion for the office and is dedicated to the rule of law, to following the law and not legislating from the bench. He has demonstrated that he’s that kind of judge.

Please join me in supporting Curtis Jenkins for judge of County Court at Law No. 2.

Let’s get out and vote May 24!

I’m writing to support the re-election of Curtis Jenkins as judge for Parker County Court at Law No. 2.

I’ve known Curtis since he came to Parker County in the early 1990s as a young law school graduate. I’ve watched him serve with distinction as a prosecutor, private practice attorney, staff attorney with the 2nd Court of Appeals and as a judge.

Curtis is a very conservative, serious-minded and honorable man who has always pursued justice relentlessly, as a prosecutor and as a judge. His decision-making is sound and is always rooted in conservative principles. He has great discernment and can ferret out the truth in situations when others cannot.

He has the perfect combination of intellect, conservative values and character to be a judge. I strongly support his re-election to the post he has served in so well.

I urge you to vote for Curtis in the runoff election on May 24.

Bathroom flap

The bathroom guidelines flap created by the Republican Party is simply a ploy to motivate people to vote for them.

In my 79 years on this Earth, I’ve never heard that this is an issue.

I put this in the same classification as voter ID requirements.
