Mauzy declares for new district judge seat

Attorney Catherine Mauzy announced her candidacy for 459th District Judge Monday with a lengthy and impressive list of supporters, including local elected officials, former officials and community activists. Mauzy is a well-known local Democrat who is board-certified in family law. The bench that she is campaigning for is a new one created for Travis County in the last legislative session. That court is expected to focus on family law matters. Mauzy touts almost 30 years’ experience as a trial lawyer and 20 years as a board-certified attorney in family law. In a press release, Mauzy promised to bring “progressive values and almost 30 years of experience to the bench as your judge.” Among those supporting Mauzy are Council members Greg Casar and Leslie Pool, Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez and state Reps. Gina Hinojosa and Eddie Rodriguez. Mauzy’s list of community activist supporters includes more than 250 names.
