Thank you to everyone who voted to elect me the next State District Judge of Dallas County, Criminal District, Court No. 7.

It has been a long journey, and you stayed with me all the way. You opened your doors when I knocked, offering me cold drinks and water when you sensed that I was thirsty on the hot campaign trail, offering me hot cinnamon and a scarf in the cold winter, and supporting me in countless other ways.

Thank you to my warrior husband and family for all their sacrifices. Thank you to my super campaign manager, Jeff Dalton, and his amazing team: Zachary Bullard, Chris Nguyen, Kaletha Dotson, Terri Hodge, Barbara Steele, the Dallas County Democratic Party and everyone who participated in, or helped the coordinated campaign.

I remain committed to serve the community as a fair, just and impartial judge.”

The entire staff and management of TheNigerialawyer (TNL), say a warm hearted congratulations to the Nigerian born Chika Anyiam for her recent elevation to the most distinguished US bench arena.
