For too long, state supreme courts flew under the radar—but voters are waking up to the fact that these benches are the ultimate battleground for our basic rights. Electing pro-democracy judges ensures our highest state courts act as an independent firewall to protect voting access and reproductive freedom, rather than a rubber stamp for partisan overreach.
Ellis County Democratic Party 2026 Candidates
Recommends Maggie Ellis
Maggie Ellis is a Texas appellate judge, former teacher, prosecutor, administrative law judge, and foster mother who is running for Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court in 2026. Elected to the Third Court of Appeals in 2024, Ellis is focused on making the state’s highest court more accessible, independent, and focused on fairness and the rule of law. She supports improving access to legal services and indigent defense, protecting equal treatment under the law, and ensuring the courts remain accountable to all Texans. As Chief Justice, she would emphasize judicial independence, compassion, and a justice system that treats every person fairly.

Judges are important. They have a direct impact on citizens, perhaps more than any other elected official, because they make decisions that can affect jobs, homes, businesses, children and personal freedoms. TCJL PAC supports judges who are fair, impartial, and well qualified.
