Dear Democratic Friend,

Thank you for your support of the Dallas Democratic Party. With the help of Democrats across Dallas County in 2006, I was successfully elected to the 68th District Court. I was the first Democratic judge to serve on that court for over 24 years. I am now running for re-election to that bench in 2010.

While I do not to have a Republican opponent in November, I did get a primary opponent just before the filing deadline. My “Democratic” opponent has never been active in Democratic politics and has actually helped fund a Republican challenger to one of our new Democratic state representatives!

I need your support.

Spread the word to your family, friends and coworkers to vote in the March 2nd Democratic Primary. Early voting begins February 16th.

As you probably know, I have been involved in Democratic politics for over twenty years. I was elected President of the Texas Young Democrats and later became Ann Richards State Youth Coordinator. I am a member of the Dallas County Leadership Council and many of our Democratic clubs. I have attended almost every Senatorial and State Democratic Convention since 1988, and have volunteered countless hours for our Party. I was one of the candidates who helped lead the 2006 Democratic effort. I was truly honored to be one of four judges to be asked to speak at the Democratic press conference on the day after the 2006 historic election. I was the only judge asked to speak to the Harris County Democratic Party about our efforts in Dallas County—before they turned Harris County blue.

As a judge, I have brought our Democratic ideals of fairness and equality to the courtroom. Under my leadership, I have instituted a new Foreclosure Mediation Program that has helped save struggling families from foreclosure. I have always maintained a commitment to a trial by jury and respect and fairness for everyone in my courtroom.

I have been endorsed by every Democratic club that has endorsed so far: Progressive Voters League, Stonewall Democrats, Coalition of Black Democrats, Dallas County Young Democrats, Tejano Democrats, Mexican American Democrats, Southwest Dallas County Democrats, Preston Hollow Democrats and Stonewall Young Democrats – to name just a few. I have been endorsed by the AFL-CIO, the Texas Association of Good Government and the Black Criminal Defense Bar Association. I was the only candidate that was found to be qualified by the non-partisan Citizens for a Qualified Judiciary (this organization found that 82% of the Democratic candidates who applied were qualified, but my opponent was not). I was also endorsed by the Dallas Morning News.

Vote for the judge of the 68th District Court who has worked, promoted, upheld and voted for Democratic values for years.

Vote to re-elect Martin Hoffman – Judge – the true Democrat in the March 2 Democratic Primary.

Thank you for your support.

Democratically yours,
Judge Martin Hoffman
