KEY: *Incumbent
Montgomery County Judge, Republican Primary
What should the county’s budgeting priorities be?
Why are you running for office?
To keep Montgomery County strong, safe and free. I’ve delivered historic 20% tax cuts, fully funded law enforcement and secured our elections. I’m a battle- tested conservative who protects your wallet and your values. I delivered on my contract with you, and I’m ready to do it again.
Budgeting must prioritize public safety and infrastructure. I will continue to fully fund our law enforcement to maintain law and order and invest in essential capital improvements like our jail, courthouse and roads. We will deliver these necessities efficiently, continuing to ensure tax dollars are focused on needs, not waste.

I’m running to bring disciplined, servant leadership to county government. Families are facing rising costs and they deserve leadership that respects taxpayers, demands accountability and ensures county government serves people, not itself, by focusing on ROI results, stewardship, and true servant leadership matters.
Budgets should prioritize public safety, core services and infrastructure while exercising restraint. When property values rise, increasing revenues, government should not automatically grow. Families pay bills, not percentages, and the county government must respect that reality.
