DALLAS — Former Tarrant County Judge Glenn Whitley is a proud, life-long, card-carrying member of the Republican Party.

During his decades in office, he was one of the state’s most prominent local Republican leaders.

He had never in his life endorsed a Democrat until 2022, when he backed Mike Collier for Lieutenant Governor over Dan Patrick.

Now, two years later, you can add two more Democrats to his list of endorsements that reach across the aisle: Kamala Harris and Colin Allred.

1. Tarrant County is mostly made up of republican judges

I haven’t voted for any judges in decades because there wasn’t a democrat to vote for. It was very frustrating to say the least. However, there have been democrats running for office and I can finally vote for them.


I’m glad judge Glenn Whitley is speaking out about who he has endorsed, perhaps it will encourage other republicans to do the same.

I am somewhat concerned about the judge who is overseeing our elections here. He is maga and I don’t trust him!
