Austin Chronicle this week:
In January, barring some unexpected obstacle, Madeleine Connor will become judge in the 353rd state District Court. Following previous defeats as a Republican (twice) and a Democrat (once), Connor narrowly defeated incumbent Judge Tim Sulak in the March Democratic primary.
She has no Republican opponent in November.
Statesman from last Spring:
Sulak, in his 10th year on the bench, is well-regarded in courthouse circles. A survey of local attorneys last year showed him with the highest score for overall excellence among the county’s eight civil district judges.
...
“Having all of these experiences, I think I would make an excellent judge,” [Connor] said.
