Dora Madera has been named Justice of the Peace of Precinct 2 in substitution of Cesar Perez who was suspended by order of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct last week. Maverick County Judge David Saucedo informed The News Gram that he had spoken to Madera about the appointment and she was called in on Tuesday to be sworn in. Madera is familiar with the function of said office as she has previously worked for JP Tere Melendrez in Precinct 4. She even ran for the position three years ago and lost to Perez in that election. According to sources, Madera will remain in said position until Perez' legal matters are cleared and if and when he is permitted to return.
