Dwight 'Tray' Richardson for Elmore County District Court Judge, Place 2.
PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS ▪ EQUAL JUSTICE ▪ INTEGRITY
My desire to serve as District Judge in Elmore County stems from my deep commitment to family, community, and the protection of constitutional rights. As a husband, father, former law enforcement officer, and experienced criminal defense attorney, I, Dwight Richardson, bring a balanced perspective to the bench. I believe every person deserves equal justice and that the courtroom must remain a place where families can trust the legal system to uphold their rights and freedoms.
I reflect the values of the Elmore County community because I am one of you. I care about the same things you do—faith, family, fairness, and the future of our children. The safety of my family and our community is deeply important to me, and I believe our courts play a critical role in preserving that safety through fair and consistent application of the law.
I’ve never run for public office before, and stepping into the political arena is new to me. But I see a real need for someone like me—someone who understands and lives by the values of Elmore County—to serve as your Elmore County Judge. I believe our community deserves leaders who are rooted in integrity, guided by principle, and committed to justice.
As a constitutional conservative and lifelong Christian, I believe judges should interpret the law—not make it—and that our courts must operate with integrity, fairness, and respect. Elmore County is my home, and I’m running because I care deeply about its people and the values we share. I’ve dedicated my career to public service, and I’m committed to ensuring every citizen is treated with dignity and respect under the law.
