Cynthia Walker for Texas Judge.
"Last night I called Judge Greg Wilhelm and congratulated him on his victory and wished him the best. While the results were not what I had hoped for, I am so thankful I had the opportunity to run for judge in Ellis County. To the voters who selected me on your ballots, thank you. You honored me with your vote. During the campaign, I walked and knocked on the doors of over 3000 homes and met so many of my neighbors and fellow citizens. I appreciate all of you who supported me, encouraged me, and helped me during this campaign. Thank you so much."
-Cynthia Walker
"In a felony court where lives, liberty, and justice hang in the balance, Ellis County cannot afford experimentation or an appointment based on friendly connections. It needs someone who knows exactly what she is doing from day one. Cynthia Walker does."
