We have another local candidate for Dallas County Judge, former Duncanville city employee Debra Carlson. She would be considered a long shot at this point, but then the same was true of current Dallas County Judge Jim Foster.
Foster, however, rode a Democratic party surge into office as did current Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez. Carlson is running as a Libertarian, which will make things more difficult.
Cedar Hill City Councilman Wade Emmert is running for the Republican County Judge nomination,and former Cedar Hill School Board member Ken Mayfield has a battle for his District 4 county commission seat on his hands.
