Candidates answers are listed in alphabetical order. As someone with an appreciation of the history of our bar, it would be a great honor to represent the lawyers across the state. I see the role of the president of the State Bar of Texas to be a spokesperson, not only for the bar organization, but for every individual lawyer. As a sole practitioner in a general practice, I will bring a general overview of all lawyers to the role. I have enjoyed my past experiences with those in bar - related activities and would like to be a part of showcasing the State Bar of Texas in the upcoming legislative sunset review.
Someone needs to speak for the lawyers of Texas.
There is a feeling among practicing lawyers in the state that the State Bar exists for the State Bar, not the lawyers. The Bar is not responsive to their needs. I can work to change this. The role of the State Bar president would allow me to be a spokesman for the practicing lawyers of Texas. With input from lawyers, hopefully we can improve the service the Bar provides to its members.
