RESTORING INTEGRITY.

Right now, our Commissioners Court makes more headlines for arguing with the District Attorney over ethics and budget increases than for getting results for taxpayers and families. That’s why we need Wade Emmert, the calm voice of reason we can trust to restore integrity to our local government. And as our County Judge, Wade will work to create a stronger code of ethics, and bring transparency, accountability and respect back to our county government.

CONTROLLING SPENDING.

With more than six years experience on the Cedar Hill City Council, Wade is a proven fiscal conservative who has worked to hold the line on spending without sacrificing the quality of service during these tougher economic times. As our County Judge, we can trust Wade to lead for a responsible budget that improves the quality of key county services like law enforcement and road construction, without further burdening taxpayers.

PROMOTING GROWTH.

As former President of the Cedar Hill Economic Development Corporation and Chairman of the Best Southwest Partnership, Wade is a proven leader for smart economic growth. As our County Judge, he will work to promote economic growth for all of Dallas County, generating new tax revenues and relieve the tax burden on our homeowners.

PRAISED FOR LEADERSHIP.

A strong advocate for regionalism, as a council member and leader for growth, Wade is known as an efficient, independent thinker who provides smart solutions. That’s why he was awarded “Civic Leader of the Year” by Cedar Hill’s Chamber of Commerce – and, he’s earned endorsements for County Judge by more than 90 Mayors and Councilmembers throughout Dallas County.

RESPECTED BY PEERS.

An attorney handling complex litigation for one of Texas’ oldest law forms, Wade has been recognized as a “Superlawyer” by Texas Monthly and D Magazine.Wade is a graduate of Abilene Christian University and Baylor School of Law.
