Judge Rose Spector Makes History Altrusa Social Club News
Judge Rose Spirt or has become
the first woman nominated by
Democrats to the Texas Supreme
Court and will be the first woman
elected to the state's highest court
if chosen b\ voters ihis fall.
Judge Spector's campaign will
he a top priority of the bi-partisan
Texas Women's Political Caucus
( I \\ l'< l this election year, TWIT
officials said.
Judge Spector is in her 18th year
as a trial court judge in San Antonio
and is now running for Place 2 on
the Texas Supreme Court.
Although two women have
receded gubernatorial appoint-
ments to unexpired terms on the
state's highest civil court, ne\er has
a woman been elected to the court
by popular vote.
I he I WPC recently announced
lis endorsement of Judge Spector
and now is turning its members'
attention to her election in
November. Judge Spector also has
the strong support of Governor
Ann Richards and other Demo-
cratic leaders and organizations.
"Judge Spector's race is a pri-
ority race for the Texas Women's
Political Caucus," said Patricia
Smothers, chair of the TWPC's
C ampaign Support Committee.
"Her race is one of very few tar-
geted races this year, and we con-
sider it to be very important.
"Judge Spector is extraordinarily
well qualified to sit on the Supreme
Court." Ms. Smothers said. "She has
the experience and background to be
an outstanding justice."
In 1974, Judge Spector was one of
the first women ever elected county-
wide in Hexar County when she won
a race for judge of the County Court
at Law No. 5. Six years later, she was
elected to the 131st District Court,
where she has been re-elected twice
without opposition. She has presided
over hundreds of jury trials and thou-
sands of non-jurv cases.
"At a time when the court's deci-
sions impact on every aspect of a
woman's life," Judge Spector said,
"not a single woman sits on the 9-man
Texas Supreme Court.
"As judges, we are courts of law
and equity," Judge Spector said.
Governor Ann Richards
and Judge Rose Spector
"Women fought hard for the right to
vote, the right to sit on juries, the right
of a married woman to control her
ow n property .
"And women are still fighting
hard for education, for a sense of dig-
nity in the workplace, for equal rights
at every level in our society," Judge
Spector said.
"In my own case, I have been able
to add my judicial experience to my
ow n life experiences as a daughter, a
wife, a mother and now a grand-
mother," she said. "And that back-
ground has prepared me well to serve
as a Supreme Court Justice."
Judge Spector was born in San
Antonio and has been married to
physician Dr. Morris Spector for 36
y ears. They have two children, Marv
and David, and two grandchildren.
Judge Spector is one of Bexar
County's most respected jurists.
"1 have tried lawsuits before
judges throughout Texas," said Phil
Hardberger of San Antonio's promi-
nent law firm of Hardberger &
Rodriquez. "And Judge Spector rates
as one of the fairest, most studious
judges I've been in front of. She is
first-rate."
"I will refuse any campaign
contribution — be it for $1 or $5,000
— from anyone who mistakenly
believes they can influence any deci-
sion I make on the court," Judge
Spector said.

Neighborhoods
must clean up
Well, here I go again.
After meeting with a nice group of
community people, we had a very
good meeting. After a discussion
of what could take place, we decided
if we are neighbors to a vacant lot or'
house, we continue to suggest that
we would be of help i f they will spare
you the eyesore of looking at their
debris filled up in your sight and
assure them we would not put our
trash or furniture or debris in their
sight. It will help the value of all our
property.
It is important that we all work
together on this.
