Phil Johnson, Conservative Moderate

Supreme Court Judge Phil Johnson is a Republican, but he is also a conservative moderate. As a conservative Democrat, I recognize that Johnson is one of the most moderate judges on the Texas Supreme Court.

Johnson has two Democrats running against him: Appeals Court Judge Linda Yanez and trial court Judge Susan Criss.

Yanez is very progressive; in fact, she's too progressive to win a statewide Texas Supreme Court race.

Criss lacks the judicial temperment to serve on the Texas Supreme Court.

As a conservative Democrat, I support the re-election campaign of Judge Phil Johnson and I have started this blog to make the case for fellow conservative Democrats to join me.
