Mueller is unopposed in both the Republican and Democratic primary


Welcome

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I am proud and honored to be unopposed in the race for the bench of County Court at Law #6. The filing deadline is now behind us and neither a fellow Democrat nor a Republican candidate has emerged in opposition.

Support and hard work is what made this possible and for that I am truly grateful. I would not be here, were it not for the help of many. I am proud to have garnered the endorsement of Austin’s Mayor Lee Leffingwell, Representative Donna Howard, Representative Eddie Rodriguez, Representative Mark Strama, Sheriff Hamilton, the Travis County Sheriff ’s Law Enforcement Association as well as community activists, leaders in the legal community and many members of our supportive Travis County citizenry.

County Court: a place the difference can be made.
I decided to run for this bench because I firmly believe that County Court is on the front lines of our local criminal justice system. It is where many of the people that come before it form their first impression of our local system. For many people, it is the place the difference is made. My work as a federal and state prosecutor, as well as a defense attorney has given me the opportunity to work at every level of our local criminal trial court system. I am grateful for the perspective and vantage point this has given me. I am steadfast in my belief that we can build on the innovations and effectiveness of our County Courts and together, have a local judicial system that is both as innovative and as effective as the members of our community.

Upcoming
The primary election is on March 2nd. The Travis County Democratic Coordinated Campaign has already begun to work toward our elections in November. There is a strong slate of judicial candidates seeking election and I am very proud to be among them.

Submit your name and email address to show support, stay involved and informed in our campaign and as always, thank you truly for your support.

Very Truly Yours,

Brandy Mueller
