The main proponent of an appointment retention system is Chief Justice Tom Phillips. Sen Robert Duncan and Rep Elizabeth Ames Jones are sponsoring resolutions and enabling legislation to make this possible.

According to TexasWeekly(Vol. 19, Issue 35, 03/10/03), Duncan and Jones both have polling saying 75% of Texans support elected judges, but I have not yet contacted Duncan or Jones to check who they polled. Phillips maintains most Texans believe judges can be swayed by contributions, but again, I have not been able to check the poll, which I would like to compare with the polls of Duncan and Jones.
