2026 Texas General Election

What is the most pressing issue relevant to the office you are seeking, and how would you address it if elected? The growing criminal and civil caseload and the strain it puts on court efficiency. When cases pile up, it delays justice for victims, defendants, and law enforcement. With 16 years of justice court experience, I know how to keep the docket moving while still giving each case the attention it deserves. I would continue improving scheduling, communication and case-managment practices to reduce backlogs and ensure timely, fair resolutions for the people of Wise County.
