“UNANIMOUSLY APPOINTED”

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “Judge Genesis Draper was unanimously appointed by Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, and the bi-partisan group of Harris County Commissioners.”

REMINDER: “Election Day is on Tuesday, March 3, 2020.”

Since being appointed as the Judge for Harris County Criminal Court at Law #12, Judge Genesis Draper has done an excellent job! I can understand if the Harris County Republican Party is putting someone up to challenge her next fall. But I can’t find any logical reason why any Democrat should want to challenge Judge Genesis Draper. Again, Judge Draper has done an excellent job for the people!

Once Judge Genesis Draper has earned the Democratic Party nomination in the race for County Criminal Court at Law #12 she will need “OUR” support again, in the “2020 GENERAL ELECTION” scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

ABOUT JUDGE DRAPER

Judge Genesis Draper was raised in a family of servant leaders, with her mother having served as a city council member in Longview, Texas and her father as a pastor and superintendent of schools for two different Texas independent school districts.

She is the oldest of three daughters, with a sister who works as a social worker in a Houston-area hospital and another sister who is a multilingual instructional specialist for a local independent school district. Her family has always placed a premium on service to the community.

Judge Draper earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from Spelman College, a historically black liberal arts college for women. She received her Doctor of Jurisprudence from The University of Texas at Austin School of Law. Upon graduating law school, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee and began her career as an assistant public defender.

Judge Draper went on to be an assistant public de-

fender at the federal and state level here in Houston.

In addition to fighting for the constitutional rights of hundreds of clients, Judge Draper has traveled the country lecturing and training lawyers on best practices in indigent defense. She also serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston Law Center, teaching advanced trial advocacy. She previously served on the board of directors for the Texas Civil Rights Project and the Houston Texans YMCA. For over a decade Judge Draper represented indigent people accused of crimes and had a front row seat to the failings of our criminal justice system.

Since taking the bench, Judge Draper has been committed to reducing the length of time from arrest to trial, so that defendants and victims of crime don’t have to wait years for justice. Judge Draper continues to be a champion for bail reform in Harris County. Defendants charged with misdemeanors no longer remain in jail simply because they don’t have the money to post bond, instead, people charged with misdemeanors are treated the same, regardless of how much money they make. Lastly, Judge Draper is working to ensure the Harris County Criminal Courts’ indigent defense plan is a model for other misdemeanor and felony courts across the country.

While Judge Draper is proud of the work she has done to reform the criminal justice system, her greatest joy comes from her marriage to her husband, Attorney Brandon Leonard, and their two children, Asa and Phoenix.
