| Former Travis County District Attorney candidate Mindy Montford was a late filer for the 299th District Court race, making her decision at 4:45pm on filing day according to my last conversation with her. Fellow Democrat Karen Sage had been running for the seat after moving from the 147th District Court seat, and besides Montford, is now joined by two other candidates Leonard Martinez and Eve Schatelowitz Alcantar.
But even when the late start Mindy Montford has gotten out with some early wins in the endorsement process as the AFL-CIO, Austin Central Labor Council and the Travis County Sheriff's Law Enforcement Association (TCSLEA) have endorsed Montford for judge.
"The AFL-CIO (Austin Central Labor Council) and TCSLEA represent key members of our community from city and county employees to teachers, firefighters, and other union members, and I'm grateful to have their support," says Montford.
"Ms. Montford is an extremely bright and tough individual with experience critical for sitting on the bench in the 299th District Court," says Brett Spicer of the Travis County Sheriff's Law Enforcement Association. "No doubt, Montford is the best candidate for Travis County in this race," he added.
Austin Central Labor Council President David Adamson says Montford received his group's endorsement because of her track record in the community. "Ms. Montford has lived in this area most of her life. She has worked on issues critical to this community and will bring a fair and honest perspective to the bench," he says. |
