"As a retired Lieutenant General in the United States Marine Corps with over 39 years of active-duty service, I am proud to endorse Mike Immler, a proven leader whose integrity, vision, and dedication make him a true stand-out in every role he undertakes. Whether leading organizations, building strong teams, or navigating complex challenges, Mike consistently demonstrates a deep commitment to excellence and service, both personally, and in the teams he leads. With a strategic mind and a collaborative spirit, Mike doesn’t just solve problems—he inspires people to rise above them. Where most see obstacles, Mike sees opportunities, and through his leadership, his teams produce inspired results that benefit everyone. His experience, character, and values reflect a rare blend of competence, compassion, and courage, making him not only an effective leader but also a trusted partner. I served alongside Mike after I left active duty and he has proven himself to always do the right thing, not simply the easy thing, and he will do it in a way that builds consensus and cohesion.

Mike’s innovative approach, deep compassion, and ability to unite people around a shared purpose brought our mission to life and elevated our impact across the country.
Mike is a dynamic leader and consummate professional—a man of integrity, strategic insight, and proven results.

"It is my privilege to endorse Mike Immler for Dallas County Judge. As Vice President of Military Affairs at First Command Financial Services, Mike worked directly for me, and his impact on our firm was extraordinary. He brought a wealth of experience, professionalism, and vision that transformed our outreach to the military community. Under his leadership, our initiatives achieved stellar results, and his ability to mentor and inspire others elevated our entire organization. Mike’s strategic insight and relentless commitment to excellence strengthened our mission and positioned First Command as a respected national leader in serving military families.
Mike’s innovative spirit and deep respect for those who serve were perhaps best exemplified in his creation of the Military Spouse Challenge Coin—a first-of-its-kind recognition honoring the vital, often unseen contributions of military spouses to our nation’s security. This initiative captured national attention and underscored Mike’s unique ability to turn meaningful ideas into lasting impact. Dallas County deserves a leader of his caliber—visionary, principled, and deeply dedicated to service. I wholeheartedly support Mike Immler for Dallas County Judge and have every confidence he will lead with integrity, wisdom, and purpose."

United States Air Force (Ret.)
Paul W. "Bill" Essex
"I wholeheartedly endorse Mike Immler for Dallas County Judge. I had the privilege of working closely with Mike when he served as senior legal officer and later as a founding member of the new Strategic Planning Division at the Army and Air Force Exchange Service HQ in Dallas (a $9B global retailer with over 30,000 employees serving the millions of veterans and active members of the armed forces). He proved he has not only a great legal mind, but also the rare talent to lead very large and complicated organizations toward incredibly successful outcomes. He has an unmatched ability to work with diverse groups with seemingly competing goals and reach mutual agreement and real progress. Largely because of his clear thinking, hard work, and ability to build consensus he paved the way for much-needed reform in a large bureaucratic organization. Even the early nay-sayers came around to enthusiastically jumping on board.
He can do the same for Dallas County. I urge you to elect Mike Immler as Dallas County Judge!"
