J.P. MARY ESTHER SOROLA SWEARS IN JUDGE ELIA CORNEJO

(Ed.'s Note: Like her or not, 404th District Judge Elia Cornejo-Lopez won her race unopposed this past year and chose to be sworn in by JP 2-3 Mary Esther Sorola today. Cornejo-Lopez has been elected to that office in the past and her lack of opponents is a testament to her campaigning prowess. She had tried to run for the board of the Brownsville Independent School District but was dissuaded and withdrew after she was told that she could not run for two elected position in the same election. Her husband Leo Lopez made an unsuccessful run as a write-in candidate for the office of Tax Assessor-Collector.)
