My campaign got a major boost Monday with this endorsement from the San Antonio Express-News in today's newspaper. Here's what the editorial team wrote about my campaign in today's newspaper:
Four candidates are running for the 285th District Court, a civil bench being vacated by Republican Michael Peden, who was appointed to the post in 1989 by then Gov. Bill Clements.
We recommend Rosie Alvarado, 33, in that race.
Alvarado's record of experience — seven years practicing law — isn't as long as other contenders for the post, but in that time she has demonstrated a superior ability to tackle a variety of tough cases in court.
The majority of the work in the Bexar County district courts is family law, but judges elected to those benches must also have the ability to handle complex legal cases. In addition to family law, Alvarado's résumé includes arguments before the 4th Court of Appeals and a civil jury trial during her first six months in practice.
Her work over the years on whistle blower and False Claim Act cases will serve her well if she is elected to the 285th civil court bench.
HI Rosie, My wife & I met you at the NE Demo Meetings (at Luby's) and we were both impressed with you, your demeanor, and your honest yet humble representation of your skills as a jurist. I have to say I am not as impressed with the E-N committee or the leanings they depict in their editorial comments. However, as someone who understands the importance of inclusion and tolerance, I am glad they agree with us on your worth. My daughter, Lauren, is also an attorney in private practice and a SM School of Law alumni and she is very supportive of you!
