Candidate Statement:
As an experienced trial judge, I ask for your support in my campaign to succeed the retiring justice of the 5th Court of Appeals, Place 4. Only 2 Republicans remain on the Dallas Court of Appeals. I respect the constitutional division of powers, and as justice, I will apply the law as written and never legislate from the bench. Vote for Judge Emily Miskel, a principled and fair judge who will transparently follow the rule of law.
