Chris Duggan & Ernie Bogart campaigning for District Judge

Bastrop County's own Chris Duggan and Ernie Bogart are campaigning for the newly created District Judge bench. The 2007 Legislature passed a bill creating a new District Judge position for Bastrop County.

Both men are members of the Bastrop County Democratic Club and have worked through the years to further the rights of our citizens.

Chris is a prosecutor in the Travis County District Attorney's Office. Chris and his wife Sharon and their two daughters are outstanding individuals and are always willing to help with Club projects. He has worked on both sides of the court as both a prosecutor and a defendant attorney.

Ernie Bogart has been a local attorney for many years and has a reputation for being smart, tough, and fair. Ernie and his wife Barbara are also great when it comes to helping with Club projects. He has also worked both sides of the court.

At our last meeting, Chris pointed out that they are not "running mates." They are both such outstanding people that it will be very hard to make a choice during the primary. As they both say, "We will have a Democratic District Judge elected in November of 2008."
