2008 Election Contest for the 11th District Bench Mark Davidson vs. Mike Miller Judge Mark Davidson was unopposed in the Republican primary, but faced a Democratic opponent in the general election. Davidson sought to distinguish himself in the reelection campaign from his fellow Republican incumbents and even sported endorsements by Democrats on his campaign website, but it did not appear to make a difference. Davidson was swept out along with most Harris County incumbent Republican judges. Attorney Mike Miller, sole candidate in the Democratic Party's primary garnered a comfortable majority of the vote. Miller is a long-time trial lawyer who knows both sides of the docket and promised judicial restraint and dignified treatment of lawyers and litigants. Davidson continues on as a appointed judge of a special court for asbestos litigation. |
