Ballotpedia Profile: Clark B. Will, Candidate for Judge of the 298th District Court
Clark B. Will, Republican candidate for Judge of the 298th Judicial District Court in Dallas County, Texas, is profiled on Ballotpedia — the nonpartisan online encyclopedia of American politics and elections. Ballotpedia covers every federal, state, and thousands of local races in the United States, and does not endorse candidates. Its profiles exist so voters can research candidates from a neutral, independent source.
Why an independent profile matters in a judicial race
Judicial races sit at the bottom of the ballot, and voters often reach them with the least information. Unlike partisan offices, a judge's job is not to advance a platform — it is to apply the law impartially, case by case. That makes a candidate's actual record, not their messaging, the thing worth researching. An independent reference source lets voters do exactly that.
