1. Who are you, and what are you running for?
My name is William ‘Sumpter’ Frazier, and I am a candidate for Judge in the 308th Judicial District Court of Harris County Texas.
2. What kind of cases does this court hear?
This court is a Family Law Court which hears domestic relations cases such as divorce, child custody, adoptions, child support, division of property in divorces as well as child abuse and child neglect cases.
3. Why are you running for this particular bench?
I am running for this particular bench because the Judge in this court is in poor health and has chosen not to run. With my qualifications and experience, I feel that I am uniquely qualified for this judgeship.
4. What are your qualifications for this job?
I have a BS in Pharmacy which will be beneficial specifically in cases of drug abuse. I have a Juris Doctorate from South Texas College of Law. I have practiced family law for the past 37 years. For the past seven years I have been Assistant County Attorney and now a Division Chief overseeing the protection of abused and neglected children, whose cases are heard in the 308th Judicial District as well as other family courts. I oversee some 1,300 cases of child abuse and neglect each year.
5. Why is this race important?
There are no courts in Harris County which affect the lives of the people as directly as the family courts.
6. Why should people vote for you in the primary?
With 37 years of family law experience and seven years experience in Children Protective Services, as Division Chief overseeing over 1,300 cases of Child Abuse and Child Neglect each year, I am the only one in this race with Child Protective experience and there is no one in the race more qualified than I am.
7. Why did you choose to run in the Republican Primary versus the Democratic Primary?
I am a conservative and I am a Republican. In these trying times, it is imperative that the Conservative American Leaders take a stand in order to preserve American Values for our children and Grandchildren. I believe that the family is the foundation of our society.
