County Attorney Files to Run for District Judge

Last week, with his family by his side, Thomas Simmons filed to run for 40th District Judge, Division 2, which covers Clinton, Russell, and Wayne Counties.
Earlier this year, I shared plans to step away from the County Attorney’s Office. After the current District Judge, Mike Lawson, shared his plans to retire, I spent a great deal of time reflecting, praying, and talking with my family about what the next chapter might look like. Through that process, I felt called to continue serving our community in this new way.
I’m grateful for the support of my family and thankful for the opportunity to take this next step. I look forward to getting out across the district, visiting with voters, listening, and earning your support as this journey begins.
