The Austin Bar recently conducted its Judicial Preference Poll.
The purpose of the preference poll is to allow the public to see how local attorneys evaluate their colleagues in the legal community.
For each race, Austin Bar members were asked to indicate which candidate they believed was best qualified to serve in the position for which he or she was running. Members did not have to vote in every race. Members cast their votes through Election Runner, a third-party online polling system.
These results are strictly the opinions of the individual attorneys participating in the poll and are not intended as an endorsement of any candidate(s) by the Austin Bar Association or any affiliated organization.
The results are below. Of the 2,864 eligible voters, 285 participated.

Andrew Reginald Hairston, 47 votes
No answer, 62
