Special to the Progress
Brenda Dominy, current Precinct 1 justice of the peace, announced her bid for re-election. She said she will run on the Republican ballot.
“It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Cherokee County and Precinct 1 since I was first elected in 1999,” she said. “I will continue to run my court in the fair and impartial manner that the residents of Cherokee County have come to expect and deserve.
“I have always stated that the justice court is the people’s court, and your voice will be heard as long as I remain in office.”
Dominy said dedication and the passion to help others is the key to handling a work schedule that includes weekends, late nights and holidays.
She said she was employed as a deputy county clerk for 15 years prior to being elected justice of the peace.
“I have gained more than 250 hours of continuing education through the Texas Justice Court Training Center through Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos,” Dominy said. “I am a member of the Texas Justice Court Judges Association and East Texas Council of Governments.”
Dominy has been married to her husband Earl for 27 years. She also has a son, Jeremy; daughter-in-law, Patty; and a grandson, Dawson.
“I appreciate all of the support I have received over the years and ask for your continued support in the upcoming elections,” she said. “As always, I will serve the citizens of Cherokee County with pride.”
