“It is important for the UTSA College of Public Policy to host this event, since public policy intersects with fundamental issues that judges make decisions about everyday,” said Francine Romero, UTSA associate professor and associate dean of the College of Public Policy. “We hope citizens and students will take this opportunity to get to know the candidates and their positions in order to cast an informed vote prior at the joint primary election.”
“The judicial elections are so important to how we live our everyday lives that we want voters to have as much information about the candidates as possible,” said Phyllis Ingram, director of voter services for the League of Women Voters.
Free event parking will be available in unmarked spaces of lot D-3, beneath IH-35.
The primary election is Tuesday, March 6. Early voting is going on now through March 2. The UTSA Main Campus is an early voting site. Registered voters will narrow down on party candidates who will represent each party in the November general election. Check voter registration status and see sample ballots.
