In light of Judge Emerson’s announcement that he will not be seeking re-election, I am announcing my candidacy for the position of 198th District Judge. I hope to earn the opportunity to serve as the next 198th District Judge and continue the tradition of honorable service that we have all grown accustomed to with Judge Emerson.
