Texas Republicans Reject Ex-Judge, Sanctioned for Groping 3 Women
Guy Williams
Republican voters in Corpus Christi rejected a return to the bench for an ex-judge, who in 2019 received a judicial conduct sanction and was convicted of public intoxication. Former Judge Guy Williams, who challenged 347th District Judge Missy Medary in the Republican Primary, lost that effort by a landslide on Super Tuesday. He received only 3,235 votes, or 20%, while Medary won 12,737 votes, or 80% of the ballot, according to election results from the Texas Secretary of State's Office. Now Medary will compete in the November general election against Deborah Rios, who was unopposed in the Democratic primary.
