Four Democratic judicial candidates for the District 13 Court of Appeals visited Cuero on September 11 to meet county residents at Millie’s on Main and to ask for support in the November election.
Hosted by the De-Witt/ LaVaca Democratic Women, voters also met Tanya Lloyd, a first-grade teacher from Lockhart, running against Michael Cloud for District 27 U.S. Congress, as well as Stephanie Bassham, running against AJ Louderback for District 30 State Representative.
Two of the 13th Court candidates, Gina Benavides and Nora Longoria, have served as justices on the court for a combined total of 30 years. The 13th Court of Appeals has a .01 percent rate of reversal on cases, according to Longoria.
