Dear Friend,
Thank you so much for taking time to read my letter. I’m Dianne Curvey (aka Damiane Banieh) and I’m running for Judge of the 280th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.
This is a one of a kind court in Texas that focuses solely on Domestic Violence cases in Harris County. And a unique court of this type needs an innovative, out of the box thinker to help solve the growing epidemic of domestic violence and the recidivism of both perpetrators and survivors of this heinous act. Issuing Protective Orders rarely protects a person who lacks the therapeutic maturity to change their behaviors. I contend that this court must offer more than a piece of paper to make the necessary changes in our community. Trauma informed care must become a staple of the 280th in order to truly begin to see lower rates of recidivism. If I am elected
Judge, I assure you that I will work tirelessly to infuse compassion, common sense, and the knowledge I have gained from my trauma informed care classes to make a difference in our community.
For all the aspirations I hold for this position, I cannot make them come to fruition if I can’t compete. And I cannot begin to compete without your financial support. Hence, I am specifically making the “BIG ASK” of you and requesting that you donate to my campaign. Simply refer to the enclosed envelope and send it back to me.
I appreciate all of the support you have given me over the years and I look forward to making you proud of the work I plan to do in this court. Thank you kindly for your support.
Respectfully,
Dianne Curvey,
Candidate, 280th Judicial District Court
