Rodney Lee: A Lifetime of Service, A Legacy of Justice.
Retired Veteran | Educator | Law Enforcement Professional | Your Candidate for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4
I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and my commitment to our community is lifelong. For the past 33 years, my wife Kathy and I have called this area home, where we raised our two children, Thomas and Kelly. When I’m not serving the public, I enjoy golfing, teaching, and traveling with my family.
​
My passion for the American legal system began on my high school debate team and grew into a career defined by 40 years of public service. I’m running for Justice of the Peace to bring that lifetime of experience to the bench.
