When two assistant prosecutors in Bexar County decided to run for the same district court bench, Criminal District Attorney Susan Reed opted not to enforce a resign-to-run rule she established to prevent employees from challenging each other in political contests. “Should two employees decide to seek the same office, one of them is going to have to resign. This office is not big enough to handle that stress without having an effect on how everyone/someone does their job,” Reed said in an Oct. 20, 1999, memo to all employees.
According to the memo, if that “unlikely situation occurs,” Reed would decide which individual would have to leave, based on tenure, the nature of duties performed and the effect upon the administration of the duties of the CDA’s Office.
