Jorge Garcia Diaz
For the past 6 almost 7 years I have worked as an assistant public defender in Harris County. I handle cases ranging from misdemeanors to first degree felonies. I have extensive experience in the criminal courts of Harris County and I routinely attend trainings to continue being a fierce advocate. Throughout my time working as a public defender, I have learned many of the issues that affect our community. I have represented people of all races, ethnicities and backgrounds which has given me a better insight into challenges our diverse community faces. I know what it takes to make our community safer and stronger.
One of the biggest issues affecting all courts is the backlog of cases. I plan to address this by making sure that there are strict guidelines and timeframes for cases to get resolved. It is the responsibility of a Judge to set the pace for the court. I will bring fairness and efficiency to this court. Additionally, community safety is another important topic to the residents of Harris County. If elected, I will implement court conditions that will be tailored to each specific case. I will look into the issues of each case and make determinations on bail and conditions based on all the facts presented. I will be fair, respectful and impartial to everyone that comes through the court.
