Cons

In light of the most recent controversy surrounding the May 13, 2020 Conroe Courier article, our position remains the same because of Mr. Yollicks overwhelming civil litigation experience and his conservative, constitutional activism, which still makes him the most qualified candidate in the race.
The MCTP PAC has been made aware of videos (1) and (2) that have surfaced of Mr. Yollick allegedly taking other candidates doorhangers from voters front doors. An article about the action is in the Courier. Mr. Yollick's reply can be found on his candidates' FB page. The MCTP PAC does not condone any candidate (or their representative) removing any other candidates campaign literature/signs under any circumstances.
There's still a lingering (nagging) fraud verdict against Yollick stemming from a case dating back to 2009, which we reported on during his run for 9th District Court in 2016. There was never a judgment against him, as opponents have claimed.nor was Mr. Yollick disbarred and is still practicing law.
His wifes' reportedly risque romance book writing may be of a disadvantage w/conservatives
His unorthodox public political stances, particularly as a newspaper publisher, have won him many political enemies (and many political allies, as well).
Excessively animated; too easily provoked
Has become a lightening-rod in the community - disaffected many key people.
Takes radical positions
Can be overly critical publicly of groups & people who take positions opposite his
