Meet Bonnie Lee Goldstein

What is your background and campaign platform?

Justice Goldstein serves on the 5th District Court of Appeals, Place 3, in Dallas. This is the largest appellate court in Texas, reviewing civil, family and criminal cases from six North Texas counties, including Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, Grayson, Hunt and Kaufman. Before being elected to the appellate court, Justice Goldstein presided over the 44th Civil District Court in Dallas County, and she also served on the municipal bench for several North Texas cities.

What inspired you to pursue a path of studying law?

I believe that the justice system is critical to civilization. It gives us a rational, and usually orderly way to resolve disputes, determine guilt or innocence and accountability. I am passionate about playing a role in this fundamental building block of our country.
