The Angela Tucker Story

Character: The Building Block for Another Over Achieving Texas Girl

By J.B. Blocker

  It’s a shame that we don’t know more about the character of our elected officials before we give them our vote. Many would never have been elected if we had known more about their character. Others would become obvious choices to place our trust in.

  Character is awakened and then groomed by influences and circumstances. We are all born with possibilities, all the possibilities in the world. No matter how rough and challenging our roads become, the spirit can overcome those tests if we walk toward a light.

  Many may say that Angela Tucker was a miracle child, and that might be true. But I’ve gotten to know her, and I know that she was blessed with character, support, and determination!

  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.
