This year’s State Bar of Texas president-elect race has energized lawyers, who turned out to vote in the highest percentages since 2009. Lawyers have also engaged in impassioned discussions of the campaign on Facebook and in mass emails.
Six attorneys say one factor causing the voter engagement is Steve Fischer. He gathered enough lawyer signatures to become the second petition candidate in State Bar history. Fischer is facing off against League City solo Trey Apffel in a runoff, with voting extending through May 23.
