KEY: *Incumbent
Galveston County Judge, Republican Primary
What are the biggest challenges facing Galveston County?
Why are you running for o ce?
Galveston County needs to keep lowering the tax rate, ghting for meaningful appraisal reform, reducing the size of government and bolstering our law enforcement. That is why I am running.
The biggest challenge for residents is skyrocketing property appraisals. I have been ghting for reform at the State Legislature while Galveston County has cut below the no-new-revenue rate for 15 straight years, unlike other entities. The system is broken and needs to be xed.
