Dear John,

For the 2020 election, Empower Texans has launched a new project: Texans for Courageous Courts.

We are promoting courage on the bench—the courage to be judicially independent, the courage to be accountable to voters, and the courage to do justice to all litigants regardless of their political connections.

Texans for Courageous Courts is considering making an endorsement in the Republican primary race, but before we do so, we want to hear from voters like you!

We’ve listed the candidates below. Please reply to this email with your thoughts and anything you’ve heard about them (both good and bad).

Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 3 (Statewide)

• Gina Parker
• Bert Richardson

You can help us best by submitting your honest feedback by this upcoming Friday, January 17th. All replies you send to us will be kept confidential.

Thanks for your help in vetting these candidates!

Tony McDonald
General Counsel
Empower Texans
