July 2, 2023 - A new chapter in Precinct 4 has begun as Margaret Dee Dee Green has been sworn in as the new Justice of the Peace.
A ceremony was held at the Justice of the Peace office on Friday, June 30, 2023, with a turnout of support from community members, family and friends and other public officials.
Tracy Broadway, Justice of the Peace for Precinct 5, has been maintaining the office following appointment by the Shelby County Commissioners' Court after the removal of Josh Ritter from the Precinct 4 office, and he administered the oath of office to Green.
“We’re super excited to have Dee Dee become one of us, JP world. I know that Karren [Price] is gonna miss Dee Dee, her office and workers there at the District Attorney’s office, but we feel your loss is our gain, and we know she’s going to be close by so that’s awesome,” said Broadway. “We appreciate the elected officials being here today, we appreciate the friends and family members being here today, Tenaha community leaders for being here today. Thank y’all.”
Following the administration of the oath of office, Green thanked all who were present, and expressed gratitude to Price for the opportunity to learn about Texas law.
“I look forward to serving the people of Tenaha, this is where I’ve come to die, so I’m going to do everything I can to do my best,” said Green.
