Duty wins GOP race for WilCo district attorney

Bradley has come under fire—including from Duty—for his handling of the Michael Morton case, which involved a man who spent 25 years in prison for killing his wife before being exonerated by DNA evidence. Bradley did not prosecute the initial case, but as district attorney, he was involved in the appeals process.

Duty, meanwhile, was reprimanded in December by the State Bar of Texas, which said she "committed professional misconduct" for releasing confidential information from a Commissioners Court executive session.

She also publicly clashed with Williamson County Commissioners, including filing a lawsuit to remove County Judge Dan Gattis from office. The suit was dismissed.

Duty has also spoken out about trying to stop or change the "good old boy politics" in Williamson County, which led to many of her clashes with the court, but also carried favor with a strong segment of voters.
