Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Ida Baeza Gardner. I am a mother of 4 children and grandmother to 14 grandchildren.

I am not a politician… just a person who from the age of 20 got educated while working full-time in the court system; became a Municipal Court Judge and now am a candidate for the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7. I am someone who is passionate about Justice and Fairness; someone who knows what the Justice of the Peace position entails and who wants to do the job.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Experience: I am the only candidate with experience from both sides of the bench. Off-the-bench: I retired after 24 years of service as an Administrative Office Manager at this Justice of the Peace court, the very one I am now a candidate for. I know what is required from the time a case is filed to the time the case gets set for trial. On-the-bench: I have had the honor of serving as Municipal Court Judge for the Town of Anthony, Texas for 14 years. The experience I bring is valuable because the case filings for the Justice of the Peace court are high; the experience I bring from both sides of the bench helps the court run efficiently.
• Availability: The case filings for the Justice of the Peace, Precinct 7 court are high, therefore the judge at this court has to be available every day. This court cannot function correctly or efficiently with a judge that is not available full-time. I am the only candidate that is available to do the job on a full-time basis.
• Proven Judicial Demeanor: With me, you know what you are getting. Actions speak louder than words. As a Municipal Court Judge for 14 years, I have shown the ability to be fair and respectful while upholding the laws of the State of Texas. As a judge, all I can promise is that I will continue to be respectful and follow the law.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

For a judicial position, Judicial Demeanor is my personal passion.

Fairness and respect while upholding the laws of the State of Texas is all a judge can promise.

I want to begin by saying I am not a politician…

I am just a person who knows what the job entails and wants to do the job.

Why me:

1. Experience:

I am the only candidate with experience from both sides of the bench.

Off the bench experience: I retired after 24 years of service as an office manager at this court I am now a candidate for... I know what is required from the time a case gets filed to getting it set for trial.

On the bench experience: I have had the honor of serving as Municipal Judge for the Town of Anthony Texas for 14 years. The experience I bring is valuable because the case filings are so high in this court, it needs a person who has experience on both sides of the bench so the court can run efficiently.

2. Availability: The case filings for this court are high and the judge for this court has to be available every day on a full-time base. This court cannot function correctly with a judge that is not available full-time. I am the only candidate that is available to do the job on a full-time base.

3. Proven Judicial Demeanor: With me, you know what you are getting. Action speaks louder than words… As a Municipal Judge for 14 years, I have shown the ability to be fair and respectful while upholding the laws of the State of Texas.

Nowadays this behavior is so important in Leaders of this Nation. As a judge, all I can promise is that I will follow the law with respect.

I humbly ask for your vote in November.
