Chief Justice Law Announces Re-election Bid
As reported in the Tex Parte Blog, the race for chief justice of the Austin Court of Appeals is shaping up. The incumbent, Chief Justice Kenneth Law (R) (pictured) recently announced his plans to seek re-election, following some speculation that he would not run again. Former Justice Woodie Jones (D) previously announced his candidacy and is gearing up for a strong bid.
Travis County remains a Democratic stronghold, but a number of the 24 counties in the Third District are primarily Republican. This race won't match the drama of the last election cycle, but it should be interesting nonetheless.
