Collin County is an Orphan

By J.B. Blocker

Due to the new redistricting lines, Collin County is now part of the new District 12 for representation on the State Board of Education! This newly aligned district is now partly Northern Dallas County and all of Collin County.

This is actually good news! It means that this highly conservative Christian base has the opportunity to be represented by ‘Tincy’ Miller, the most highly respected and devoted advocate in Texas SBOE history.

Mrs. Miller is far and away the most knowledgeable and experienced of all candidates’ state wide. Her dedication to Texas public schools spans over 20 years!

A Football Analogy

This opportunity for representation could be compared to the Denver Broncos’ acquisition of Payton Manning for quarterback. Even though Manning is nearing the end of his career, his leadership, track record, knowledge of the game, and determination all added up to an easy decision for G.M. and Hall of Fame quarterback for Denver, John Elway.

Not only are Manning and Miller highly respected in their fields, they are no nonsense leaders who find a way to get the most from their teammates. They know the rules better than anyone else and literally changed the face of their organizations. They cannot be intimidated, their integrity cannot be questioned, and they have lived their careers without letting egos get in the way of the performance of their duties.

Introducing the Honorable Angela Tucker

  Mark Friday June 29, 2012 as the day Angela Tucker was sworn in to the 199th District Court to become the first African/American to be elected to a county wide position. Congratulations are in order.


  Despite a long and challenging campaign, her perseverance and the support of those she lovingly calls Team Tucker prevailed.
  With a full house that included a large contingent of family, friends, supporters, and black robes, the Honorable Angela Tucker showed her trademark wit and loving nature as she captivated the full house.
  If you were one of the 19,508 who voted for Angela Tucker, you too were a part of history!

  Following the welcome by Judges Jill Willis and the John Roach Jr a joyfully tearful introduction to the newly elected judge was provided by Judge Cynthia Wheless. The sage words of the Honorable Carolyn Wright were followed by the historic swearing in.

  The following is a story I wrote over two years ago. Angela's family story is one you should be proud to share and I am proud to have written.
