I recently showcased an article, “Two Local Judges Investigated in Grand Jury Investigation”  by the Collin County Observer.

In general, I don’t like just grabbing an entire article and posting in on our blog.  I instead try to post and show my take on the matter.  But his article was too good on the matter to do anything but post the entire article.

What I have found interesting, is not just the article itself, but the massive amounts of comments about the article.  As of today, there are 64 comments on the article.  I think that is the new story of the day.

I was informed today that long time sitting judge, Judge Jerry Lewis of Collin County Court Two has drawn an opponent, Sharon Ramage. I spoke with Sharon today who is going to email me some information about her campaign and a photo.  However, I am impatient and pulled stuff from her website. I will update as needed. . . .

Considering there are several other open benches, most attorneys in the area were surprised at the news.  But it does makes some sense considering each of the open benches have already garnered several candidates. See other posts on County Court 3, County Court 6, and District Court 219th.

Below are the candidates for the race:

This election cycle, the 219th District Court has an opening.  Judge Curt Henderson has announced that he will not seek re-election.  Until recently, there was only one candidate, Scott Becker, actively campaigning for the bench.  It was rumored that Greg Willis would run for the bench, however, he has announced plans to become the next district attorney.  On Friday, a new candidate, Angela Tucker sent out a press release, stating her plans to run for the 219th.  Angela previously entered the race for Collin County Court 3, but changed her plans to seek the district bench instead.  Additionally, a new candidate, Wendy McMillon has also announced her candidacy.

Here are the candidates:

I have not written about a recent DWI incident because I didn’t want to soil the names of  prosecutors accused of wrongdoing.  Those accused have now found their names in print and put on TV.  I have chosen not to add their names to this article.

WFAA & the Collin County Observer have published stories, so I guess on a small scale, the cat is now out of the bag about the “story.”  Which in my opinion is not much of a story at all.

The truth is, if these reporters personally knew the stellar reputations of the two prosecutors accused and the great reputation of the defense attorney accused versus the young prosecutor accuser, they wouldn’t have been so quick to believe what they heard from the accuser.
