NOE GARZA TO CHUY: A JP IS A BIT DIFFERENT THAN A DISTRICT JUDGE


By Noe Garza

I want to respectfully correct the record.
At the public forum, Jesus Garcia unfairly accused me of saying that Justices of the Peace are not judges and that I disrespected them. That accusation is false.

I never said that and I have never disrespected the office of Justice of the Peace. Justices of the Peace serve an important role in our justice system and in our community.

What I did say — and what I will continue to say — is that my opponent is not a DISTRICT Judge.
This race is for District Court, and there is a real difference between serving as a Justice of the Peace and serving as a District Court Judge. That is not an insult. That is a fact voters are entitled to understand.

For months, my opponent’s signs have used “Judge Chuy” and “Judge Garcia,” which may give voters the impression that he is already serving as a District Judge. He is not. Clarifying that distinction is not disrespect. It is transparency.

I will continue to run a campaign based on truth, experience, qualifications, and respect for the voters of Cameron County. I respectfully ask for your vote for Judge of the 107th District Court.
