Conroe - Montgomery Edition | January 2026

Election

KEY: R Republican *Incumbent

Montgomery County judge, Republican primary

What are the biggest challenges facing Montgomery County? We face pressure from rapid growth, rising regional crime and aging infrastructure. The challenge is building a modern jail, courthouse and wider roads without turning into Harris County. I am committed to managing this growth responsibly, keeping our community secure and fighting for low taxes.

What would your top priorities be if elected?

To protect our quality of life, we need a modern jail, courthouse and expanded roads. I’ve used my current term to lay the foundation for these improvements; in my next, we will deliver them. These are vital investments in our safety and economy that we must see through.

My priorities will always be fiscal discipline, public safety, infrastructure planning and restoring collaboration within county government. Leadership means aligning budget outcomes and managing the growth responsibilities that are inevitable in our county. Ensuring county services operate efficiently, transparently and with respect to taxpayers. Leadership should never be optional.

Rapid growth; rising property taxes and insurance costs; infrastructure strain; and the need for stronger coordination among county departments and partner agencies to serve residents effectively.
