The 2014 Texas Republican Primary Runoff Election is confusing enough as it is. Harris County has taken things up a notch on the confusing level. Alicia Franklin is the only person running in the Republican Primary Runoff race for Family Court Judge of the 311th District Court. Even though Alicia Franklin is the only person in the race for this seat, she is not the only person on the ballot.
The Judicial elections are of the utmost importance, especially at a time when so many judges are being activists from the bench. The decisions from the bench directly impact the lives of local residents. It’s a shame that so little is known about the judicial positions. I have done research on the candidates and believe that the best Republican nominees for judge are Crystal Chandler for County Court at Law #13 and Susan Skinner for County Court at Law #14. Lorina Rummel in the 144th District Court race is the candidate for whom you should cast your vote.

As long as I've been of age to vote, I took my choices seriously and did the research that was needed to help select the best and most qualified candidate. Pffffft! If you believe that, then I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell. I hate to admit it, but it hasn't been until recently that I have been doing any sort of research or homework on candidates.
Since I've entered a more mature and responsible phase of my life, ahem, I do actually think about who would be the best candidate for the job, and if you've been reading any of my posts recently, you'll know that I'm referring to one race in particular: the race for Texas House District 132.
I released the following statement after voting for the passage of the bipartisan, bicameral Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) of 2014.
