Justice Charles Spain joined the Fourteenth Court of Appeals as the Place 4 jurist in 2019 and is seeking reelection in the Democratic primary, where Spain is being challenged by Derek Obialo, a Nigerian immigrant with a construction and commercial law practice.
Spain’s seat on the appellate court also drew two Republican challengers. Fort Bend County 286th District Court Judge Steve Rogers is running against Tonya McLaughlin, a former felony prosecutor who now runs her own criminal defense practice.
