We all recognize the importance of qualifications for the job.
I believe I am clearly the best qualified candidate by virtue of:
EXPERIENCE:
I have served nearly 8 years as your Justice of Peace,
and presently hold the office.
COOPERATIVE:
My cordial relations with our peace officers,prosecutors,
other judges, and county officials greatly contribute to
the efficient operation of this office.
CONSERVATIVE:
I've never drawn one nickel from Austin County for my
vehicle mileage, or other travel expense of any kind,
and believe we well get our money's worth for every
dollar spent in maintaining this office. While revenue is
certainly not the primary focus of a Justice of Peace, I
have during my tenure sent more than $1,270,000.00 to
the County and State, obviously reducing our taxes by
the same amount.
CHARACTER:
I do not believe my morals and ethics have been, or will
be, questioned.
ATTITUDE:
It is necessary to be both fair and reasonable, and to
use some impartial common sense in performing this
work.
TRAINING:
I have completed every school required by the State of
Texas, as well as each optional course offered.
