While Dallas County Democrats occupy every single trial bench in solidly blue Dallas County, they have yet to capture a seat on Dallas’ Fifth Court of Appeals, which has been all-Republican since the 1990s.
Darlene Ewing, chairwoman of the Dallas County Democratic Party, said they hope to change that. The party’s executive committee chose one of their sitting civil judges, 95th District Court Judge Ken Molberg, to run for a Fifth Court seat being vacated by retired Justice Jim Moseley, who left the bench yesterday to join Gray Reed & McGraw.
