I have attempted to contact every judicial candidate that is in a contested race on the Harris County ballot November 2nd. If I have received a response, I will publish it. If there is a Q&A for the Democrat in the race, I will link to Kuff’s site, if not, I’ll list the name only. The order will be from the top down, as indicated on the Harris County GOP website. For now, I will list only those positions for which I’ve received a response. At some point before early voting, I will list every position, even if the Republican did not respond.
