Election
BY SHELBIE HAMILTON
Collin County judge, Republican
Why are you running for office?
If you are elected, what can residents expect from you?
Five generations of my family have made their home in Collin County, and my great-great-grandparents were Collin County farmers throughout the Great Depression. I love the people of Collin County and I’m working hard to preserve and protect the blessings and the opportunities of our community for future generations.
Today, Collin County is the healthiest, safest, and strongest county in Texas, and we lead the state in economic opportunity and government efficiency. As your county judge for four more years, I will continue to keep my promises and I will keep Collin County successful and Texas Strong!

Collin County is growing rapidly, and planning is not keeping pace. Public safety, roads, housing, water and finances all lack attention. Our county debt is not affordable. We are reacting, not leading. My expansive qualifications brings new leadership, focused on the future needs of our citizens and our county.
Boots on the ground. You can’t lead a community if you’re not out in the community. Open dialogue. I don’t carry grudges, believe in reprisals, operate through revenge or vindictiveness. I communicate with groups and organizations. I plan for the future and new opportunities, new growth, and new expansions.
