Janie FloresFlores is running to unseat a Justice of the Peace who has held the Kyle court since 1999. Her campaign lives on a Facebook page, and she ran unopposed in the Republican primary.
About Janie
Her Facebook page offers no professional background, legal experience or record to check. A JP doesn't have to be a lawyer — but this is the court that handles evictions, small claims and traffic tickets for Kyle, Mountain City and Uhland, and voters have nothing to go on but her name.
