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.
