Brazos County Democrats: Texas Democratic Women of the Brazos Valley Blue Denim Luncheon

Blue Denim Luncheon

Sunday, October 5th, 2008
1 p.m.
Briarcrest Country Club
Featured Speaker: Justice Linda Yanez, Candidate for Texas Supreme Court

Join TDW & friends to support our candidates in this pivotal 2008 election year!

Justice Linda Yanez, 2008 candidate for Texas Supreme Court, learned about hard work at an early age. She picked cotton in the fields of South Texas as a teenager, traveled with her parents for work in Illinois factories, and later became a teacher, an attorney, and a Judge. As a mother and grandmother, Linda is quick to thank her parents and grandparents who helped raise her. But she is also deeply grateful to the document she’s fought to protect throughout her career … the United States Constitution.

In 1993, Justice Yanez was appointed to the Thirteenth Court of Appeals by Governor Ann Richards, making her the first Hispanic woman to serve in an appellate court in the history of Texas. She is currently a candidate for Place 8 of the Texas Supreme Court.

Justice Yanez offers a simple judicial philosophy: "I believe in judicial restraint...I believe a judge cannot bring an agenda to the bench. The only way to resolve the complex issues that come before our state's highest court is through an open mind, independent thought, and a willingness to debate the legal questions at stake."

GREAT ITEMS TO BE RAFFLED OFF AT THE LUNCHEON!
