CUERO, TX — Justice of the Peace Blanca McBride has officially announced her candidacy for re-election in Precinct 2, marking her intent to continue serving the community with the same integrity and dedication that have defined her tenure over the past two terms.
In a public statement released last week, McBride emphasized her commitment to fairness, consistency, and respect for all individuals who enter her courtroom. “Justice requires not only experience, but a willingness to learn and adapt,” she said, noting her ongoing efforts to stay informed on new legislation and judicial procedures to ensure that the court reflects current standards and best practices.
McBride, who has served as JP since 2018, is known for her professional demeanor and strong work ethic. Her approach to the bench has been marked by a balance of legal rigor and compassionate leadership — qualities she says are essential to the role.
“Serving this community has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” McBride stated. “I’ve listened, learned, and led with care. I’m committed to continuing that work with dedication and compassion.”
As the election season unfolds, McBride’s announcement adds momentum to the DeWitt County ballot, which includes a proposed tax increase affecting Yoakum voters, as well as 17 statewide Constitutional Amendments. Voters in Precinct 2 will also have the opportunity to weigh in on her re-election bid during the upcoming election cycle.
McBride concluded her announcement by thanking constituents for their trust and support, expressing her hope to continue serving the people of Precinct 2 with professionalism and heart.
