Kristi, are you taking Ozempic? We thought you were cuter fat.
It should be noted here that there has been a vacancy here for months, they’ve kept it vacant because they do not want to appoint Kristi. Get the message, no one likes you.
This is the person cops had to wait for hours to come and pronounce people dead and they didn’t like it either. Yeah, she got the PD endorsement but the rank and file hated her for her shitty attitude and having to wait on her when she didn’t want to roll out of bed for a death and they had to endure hours of waiting.
The Never-Ending Entitlement of Kristi DeCluitt
From the very beginning back in 2012 when she ran for JP 1.1 against Peterson, Kristi DeCluitt has carried herself like the system owes her a bench. She lost that race, but instead of accepting the will of the voters, she marched straight into 2014 Commissioners Court demanding they create a new position just for her. When that didn’t pan out, she kept circling until in 2015 she was handed a specially created “Criminal Justice Analyst” job — and even that came with the threat of lawsuits over how the position was carved out.
That’s been the playbook ever since: lose an election → demand an appointment → if that fails, file for the next opening.
- 2019: Runs for 19th District Court.
- 2021: Runs for County Court at Law 3.
- 2022: Pushes for the 474th District appointment.
- 2025: Applies for 74th District when Cooley steps down.
- Weeks later: Announces candidacy for 170th District Court.
It’s never about service, it’s about title shopping.
The Entitlement in Action
And it isn’t just about elections. People in McLennan County still remember the day she made first responders wait several hours at a death scene before she showed up. That’s not leadership — that’s ego on full display, keeping grieving families and professionals stuck because she thought her time mattered more than theirs.
The Pattern is Clear
Every move screams entitlement:
- Voters say no? Demand a job be invented.
- Appointments say no? Apply again and again until something sticks.
- Meanwhile? Abuse the authority she did have — even if it meant leaving first responders hanging at a death scene.
This is not persistence. This is entitlement wrapped in ambition. And McLennan County deserves better than someone who treats public office like a revolving door until she finally gets what she thinks she’s owed.
DeCluitt lost her justice of the peace position last summer when the McLennan County Republican Party’s executive committee behind closed doors chose another candidate over her to go on November’s election ballot after commissioners consolidated seven justice of the peace and constable precincts into five.
