Supports Carlos Barrera
RECEIVED Thu., Feb. 21, 2008
Dear Editor,
In the upcoming election, the voters of Travis County will choose a new judge to preside over a newly created county criminal court.
Carlos Barrera is the candidate of choice for several reasons.
Carlos Barrera is the only candidate in the race who has been both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. If you have ever had a friend or a loved one who has been accused of a crime, you will recognize the importance of having a judge who can see both sides.
Carlos is the only candidate in the race who is certified as a criminal law specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He has been practicing criminal law for 25 years. His qualifications are unmatched.
Travis County needs and deserves to have ethnic diversification in its political and judicial leadership. Right now, there are no Hispanic judges in the criminal courts of Travis County.
When we have an experienced, highly qualified, Hispanic criminal defense lawyer running for the position of judge of a Travis County criminal court, why would we wait for someone else in the future? We need Carlos Barrera as a judge, now!
