A ambitious strategy that supports working-class Americans, strengthens our neighborhoods, and generates millions of jobs is what we need.
For far too long it has appeared to many litigants that the judicial system was taking something fom them- dignity, time, money, liberty, etc; or not allowing them equal access to the court system or equal access to justice. You can trust that your time, your dignity and your legal protections will not be compromised.
Regardless of whether you are a litigant in a civil dispute, a criminal action or the victim of a crime Democrat Judges will continue to demonstrate that your voice matters, your time matters and your dignity matters. You will always be afforded an equal opportunity to participate in the process and be heard. Democrat Judges believe in equality, fairness, impartiality and justice for all.
Every litigant deserves to have their voice be heard in court. It can be hard to navigate the court system alone. Making sure that your matters are properly before the court is generally effected through counsel unless a party has decided to remain pro se. In addition to procedural rules, there are also rules of the court that must be followed. With a lawyers help and guidance it will be easier to navigate.
In a criminal court setting, the U.S. Constitution and Texas Constitution guarantees you the right to counsel. If you cannot afford an attorney, the court will appoint an attorney to represent you.
Our Judges will ensure that you have access to qualified, competent counsel to make certain that your voice is heard.
America is a nation of laws and the Rule of Law is intrinsic to our foundation. Almost everything that we do is governed by laws, rules and/or regulations. It is through laws that we are guaranteed our protections, rights and freedoms. Laws are how we maintain peace and order in society and the communities in which we live. Most of us understand how laws are created and also how they are enforced. However, some do not quite understand the role of our District and County Court Judges. The role is similar to that of an umpire and gatekeeper when it comes to the presentation of facts, arguments of the parties and admission of evidence. Throughout the litigation process, a Judge’s duty is to uphold the law; and when determining case disposition… to administer justice.
Our Judges take an oath of office swearing to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, laws of the United States and of the State of Texas. Further, a Judge must also uphold the integrity and independence of the Judiciary. In this, they are required to remain unbiased and rule according to the law. It is within a Judges discretion however to show compassion for people on both sides of the litigation when justice calls for it and the law allows for it.
Fort Bend Democrat Judges have a fundamental commitment to Integrity. Our commitment requires making decisions without fear or favor. In order to maintain the public’s confidence in the impartiality of their Justice System, Judges must adhere to this principle of compliance with the law and the fair application to all. Fort Bend County Democrat judges take this oath towards integrity seriously. In fact, it says so in our Oath of Office – “to faithfully execute, and to the best of my ability to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this State, so Help me God”
Transitioning every building, home, and mode of transportation to 100% green energy will create millions of good-paying jobs. Our nation can grant a job to every American who wants one. The climate crisis requires a massive jobs program A federal jobs guarantee program would establish a baseline for wages and benefits for the nation’s workforce. The program would provide a baseline minimum wage of at least $15 an hour. By investing in our own workforce, we can lift thousands of American families out of poverty and help people re-enter the workforce, doing the work that needs to be done to build a better future.
High tuition costs have put college and trade schools out of reach for millions of people and saddled millions more with a lifetime of student loan debt. We support free public college and trade schools for all to end the equity gap in higher education.
Compassion comes from the within. It is also derived from learning and knowing circumstances; not being or remaining disconnected from the communities in which we serve. It is rooted in being conscious and gaining a genuine understanding; not just focusing on the WHAT, but also the WHY?
While we, as Judges, are ensuring that persons are held accountable and accepting responsibility for their actions we also understand that sometimes there are mitigating factors that must also be assessed.
One must uniquely understand that justice is where accountability and mitigation meet.
As Judges we vow to be thorough and reflect on every decision that we make. This is because each and every decision the we make has the power to transform and/or change an individual’s life. Our commitment to the Fort Bend Community is to aid in providing safe communities and the preservation of justice… not just for those who have access and influence, but for everyone.
