Think of the Justice of the Peace as the people's court: small claims, rent and eviction fights, traffic tickets. Kenneth Sanders, a Democrat, is the Precinct 7 judge, according to his campaign, and is running for another term.

Before the bench, Sanders worked in manufacturing and supply-chain leadership at Lockheed Martin and General Motors. He went to Fort Worth's Dunbar High School and has a degree from Southern University. His site does not say how long he has been a judge.

Judges aren't allowed to take sides on these values — it's against judicial ethics rules. The best clue to how a judge thinks is the party they run with.
