Republican Susan Hawk, with a campaign flushed with cash, has bolstered her media campaign with a television ad currently airing on local television stations.
The 30-second spot is titled “trust.” It features Hawk, a former state district judge, discussing why she wants to unseat Democrat Craig Watkins as Dallas County District Attorney.
“It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Republican, Democrat or Independent,” Hawk said. “Your job as district attorney is to seek justice.”
According to the latest financial disclosure reports, Hawk has $247,000 on hand to close out her campaign. That number is rising. Watkins, the two-term incumbent, had $55,000 in his campaign account.
