Dear Democrats,
I am proud to announce that I am running as a Democrat for Dallas County Probate Court 2. Running for Judge is a major new chapter in my lifelong commitment to public service. Service has been at the core of my work as a professional attorney, a community volunteer and a longtime member of the Democratic Party here in Dallas.
My legal background and qualifications...
I firmly believe that I have the integrity, intellect, legal abilities and the sense of justice required to serve as your Judge. As I made the decision to run, I spoke to a number of trusted friends such as attorney and State Rep. Rafael Anchia, attorney and State Democratic Executive Committee member David Griggs, attorneys Rugger Burke and Scott McElhaney and many others, and I was gratified that they felt I had the right qualities to be the Judge of Probate Court 2.
As an attorney at Baker Botts L.L.P., I have worked on highly complex cases where the stakes reached the billions, and I have handled more discrete matters involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. These cases required me to learn such disparate legal disciplines as bankruptcy, securities, employment and workers' compensation law in both federal and state court.
I maintain an active pro bono practice as well. Among other things, I have helped grandparents obtain legal custody of the grandchildren they are raising. I have written wills, living wills and trust instruments for elderly clients, and I have provided advice on corporate governance to a nonprofit. Before joining Baker Botts, I clerked for a federal judge and completed externships with the SEC and the FTC.
My commitment to the Democratic Party...
As a longtime Democrat, I have been proud to volunteer with numerous political campaigns in Dallas County and contribute to several others. I have been an active participant in our clubs and party activities over many years. I am also serving currently as a Democratic Precinct chair, and I am proud to be endorsed by numerous Democratic leaders.
Get involved by endorsing or volunteering...

I thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Chris Wilmoth
