Chris Martin Files for 294th Judicial Court

After more than a year of prayerful consideration, it is with great excitement that I announce my candidacy for the office of District Judge in the upcoming Republican Primary. As a lifelong Van Zandt County resident, my wife and I have considered it to be a tremendous blessing for us to live, work, worship, and raise our children here in my home county.

I became an attorney so that I could provide for my family and do important work while helping others. Since being elected as the Criminal District Attorney in 2010, I’ve delivered on my campaign promise to lead a high quality DA’s office that aggressively prosecutes crimes but also treats people fairly. My work at the DA’s Office has provided me with invaluable experience in adhering to conservative budgets, addressing complex legal and financial issues, and managing a busy law office. 

During these past seven years of service as the Criminal District Attorney, I have developed a deeper appreciation for the work and influence that a District Judge is capable of providing to our community. From managing crowded civil and criminal dockets to conducting trials and protecting taxpayer dollars, the work of the District Judge is crucial to our justice system and the lives of those affected by it. A District Judge must be able to effectively manage people, skillfully apply the law, and provide leadership to the Court. 

I’m seeking to become District Judge in hopes of continuing my public service to Van Zandt County, do meaningful work, and fulfill an integral role within our local justice system. With me I bring proven results, varied experience, and guided leadership based upon Christian faith. In choosing your next District Judge, I pray you’ll seek out the values you find most important in an individual that will be required to administer and judge fairly. I can assure you that I possess the qualifications, ability, and experience that will serve you well as Van Zandt County’s next District Judge. 

In the upcoming months, I will be putting forth my specific plans and goals for the District Court. As my family and I embark upon this campaign for District Judge we look forward to meeting each of you and encourage everyone to vote in the Republican Primary election on March 6, 2018.
