Dallas County judge candidate Wade Emmert has announced the “Run for a Reason” 5K series. On Wednesdays at 7 p.m for the next several weeks, Emmert will join hundreds of runners at Bachman Lake for a 5K race.
Emmert said this summer he wants to highlight the work of Dallas County’s first responders.
“Our first responders are the heart of our public safety,” Emmert said. “They are the ones who answer the call. They come to our rescue.”
Emmert, most well known for his stint on the Cedar Hill city council, is the leading Republican candidate. The Democratic crowd includes incumbent Jim Foster, Dallas County Schools President Larry Duncan and there are now rumblings that Helen Giddings might jump into the fray as well. Stay tuned, political observers, the 2010 Dallas County judge’s race promises to be an interesting one.
