Steven Michael Denny
Occupation: Criminal defense attorney, Volunteer firefighter
What experience do you have that qualifies you for this position?
"I have experience as a felony prosecutor. As a sole practitioner, I have handled many types of cases from wills, probates, trusts, real estate, civil litigation, divorces, cps, administrative and contract law. I have handled appeals on criminal and family law matters, and have handled matters in front of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. As a justice adviser for the Department of State I trained Afghan judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers and police on their laws and how to run their system more efficiently."
How will you best represent the community that elected you?
"First, I will ensure access to the courts. That means being present in the courthouse for whatever matters need to be heard and being available for emergencies after hours. Second, I will ensure that the process is efficient as possible. That means that taxpayer's monies are spent wisely. Third, I will be open to new ideas, including those on mental health to address recidivism which will help with my other 2 goals."
How are you better suited than your opponent to serve in the position that you are running for?
"I have the most varied experience. I have the least connection to the status quo."
