Amateur hour in the Dem primary for county judge

THE CHRONICLE recently profiled the two Democrats trying to unseat Harris County Judge Ed Emmett.

Former Council backbencher Gordon Quan, the preferred candidate for some local lefty bloggers, may need a little help with his website. Although it contains the expected “Gordon Quan for Harris County Judge” text in various places, the header graphic gives the impression that Mr. Quan is already County Judge.

Surely that’s just an oversight that Mr. Quan will get corrected. And while he’s at it, he might take a crack at revising his website’s description of the job he’s seeking:

What Does the County Judge Do?

Even though the Harris County Judge doesn’t wear a black robe or preside over trials, he or she does go to court every day: to the Harris County Commissioners Court.

Hmm, well, Commissioners Court doesn’t actually meet every day. Whoops!

We suspect Harris County voters will agree with Quan’s conclusion, though:

Decisions made at the Commissioner’s Court directly affect you. It’s vital that we have a leader at the Court that is experienced, energetic, and effective.

And maybe even one who knows how often the Court meets!

UPDATE (02-17-10): Quan’s website has been updated and now reflects the changes we suggested. The campaign can feel free to send our consulting fee to the blogHOUSTON PO Box! 🙂
