Wicklander-Zulawski Interview and Interrogation Techniques October 2003...

“I’m seeking the Justice of the Peace bench because I want to serve my community in a way that combines fairness, integrity, and approachability. Over the past several months, I’ve attended many JP court sessions, and one thing became very clear: going to court can make people nervous, intimidated, or...

I believe my experience and community roots uniquely prepare me to serve as Justice of the Peace. I’ve spent my career in public service — as a Correctional Officer with TDCJ, a Law Enforcement Officer, a 13- year federal employee with the U.S. Postal Service, and now with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office....

As a judge, I believe the criminal justice system should be fair, hold people accountable, and keep our community safe. Everyone who walks into the courtroom deserves to be treated with respect and heard. Justice isn’t about being harsh or lenient — it’s about doing what’s right, protecting the community, and...

My judicial philosophy is simple: fairness first, integrity always, and respect for every person. I believe a judge’s role is to apply the law consistently, listen carefully, and treat everyone who comes into the courtroom with dignity. I strive to make the court a place where people feel heard, where decisions are...

The most significant issues in this race are ensuring fairness, accessibility, and trust in the JP court. Many people are nervous or intimidated when they have to come to court, and too often they don’t fully understand the process. That can make an already stressful situation even harder....

I see recidivism as one of the biggest challenges in our courts because repeat offenders affect not just themselves, but their families, victims, and the community at large. As a people’s judge, I will handle cases with impartiality and responsibility — holding people accountable...

I believe protecting property rights is fundamental, and civil forfeiture laws, when misused, can threaten those rights. People should not lose their property without due process or a clear connection to criminal activity....

I believe parents are the primary decision-makers for their children. The government should only step in when a child’s safety or well-being is truly at risk, not to override a parent’s judgment or beliefs. As a Justice of the Peace, I would carefully review any court orders involving parental decisions to ensure...

“I’ve always been proud to support the Republican Party because it stands for faith, personal responsibility, and limited government — values I live every day. I’ve volunteered at local GOP events, supported candidates who share these principles, and worked to engage our neighbors in the political process....

“My view is simple: the law must be applied fairly and consistently, no matter who is involved. Everyone deserves due process, and every allegation should be handled with integrity and transparency. If there were ways the process could have been clearer or more efficient, the goal should be to strengthen...

I believe the U.S. and Texas constitutions are foundational documents meant to protect our rights and limit government, and they should be interpreted according to the original intent of the framers. They are not meant to be changed to fit modern trends or political pressures....

I believe the state should license professions where public safety, trust, or legal responsibility is directly at stake, like lawyers, doctors, or electricians. Licensing ensures standards, accountability, and protection for the public....

The best way for the average voter to determine which judicial candidate is the best is to look at their experience, qualifications, and track record of service. Voters should consider: Professional Background – What legal or public service experience does the candidate have? Have they...

“The 10th Amendment makes it clear that powers not specifically granted to the federal government belong to the states and the people. Federal judicial review cannot override state authority in areas reserved to the states under the Constitution....

I believe one of the areas in criminal justice that needs the most urgent reform is recidivism and ensuring accountability while giving people a real chance to change. Too many individuals cycle in and out of the system, which impacts families, victims, and the community....

The preamble to the Texas Constitution humbly invokes the blessings of Almighty God, reminding us that government exists to serve the people and is accountable to a higher moral authority. For Texas courts, this means that justice should be administered with integrity, fairness, and respect for both the law and...

I believe the priority of any judge should always be serving the people who come to the courtroom. That said, it’s important for judges to stay sharp, informed, and connected through seminars, workshops, teaching, or networking....

Most respected: I most respect Justice Clarence Thomas for his consistency and commitment to originalism. He focuses on the Constitution’s text and history and is willing to challenge precedent when it departs from...

No, there is not anything in my background of an embarrassing nature that I feel should be explained before my election. I've never been arrested, and have maintained a clean driving record my entire adult life. I have not had so much as a speeding ticket since I was a senior in high school. I feel like my integrity...
