OTHER INFORMATION
Fox’s campaign emphasizes the theme “Leading with Faith. Standing for Justice.”
Fox stated that “Texans deserve judges who defend the Constitution, uphold the rule of law, and reflect the values that make our great state strong-- faith, family, and freedom.”
Fox said that judges must have experience and respect for the Constitution when making life-and-death decisions, adding, “That is what I will bring to the bench.”
Fox seeks to demonstrate “fairness, integrity, and a deep respect for the law,” bringing experience and humility to the bench while seeking justice for victims, protecting defendants’ rights, and standing up for the Constitution.
Fox stated she is a “devoted Christian” and “proud conservative”
Fox launched her campaign for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, citing Ephesians 6:12 and framing her run as a fight for conservative principles and public safety.
Fox said her faith and family shape her values, explaining that she applies at work the same principles she teaches at home—“honesty, responsibility, and doing what’s right.”
Fox emphasized that “faith and justice go hand in hand—that our legal system is strongest when it reflects the moral truths rooted in Scripture.” Further stating “I believe in being the hands and feet of Christ in my community.”
Fox is “an active member of the Catholic Church” and has served in multiple roles, including “Sunday school teacher, Confirmation sponsor, member of Catholic Daughters of America, assistant mentor for Junior Catholic Daughters of America, and Project Rachel, a healing ministry for those who suffer because of an abortion experience."
