Ricky Gleason, candidate for Kendall County Judge, is calling on residents to make their voices heard in the upcoming primary election by voting early from February 17–27, 2026. Gleason stressed that local elections—particularly for County Judge—directly impact community safety, infrastructure, and quality of life.
“If you’re not voting in the primary, you are losing your choices,” Gleason said in a recent episode of The Building Texas Show. “By November, the choice has already been made for you. Our generation needs to get involved, it’s time.”
Early voting runs February 17–27, with Election Day on March 3. Residents can find polling locations and details at the Kendall County Elections Office website.
A financial planner and former Boerne Planning & Zoning Commission member, Gleason emphasized collaborative leadership to build stronger partnerships between the county, cities, schools, and nonprofits. He also highlighted emergency readiness, including enhancing flood and wildfire response through coordinated planning and volunteer fire support. Gleason called for a long-term vision to develop a county-wide strategic plan that guides growth while protecting property rights and natural resources like the Guadalupe River.
The County Judge serves as the county’s CEO, overseeing budgets, emergency management, and interlocal agreements. Gleason, a Boerne High School graduate who returned to raise his family locally, framed the role as one of service: “It’s about taking care of people and helping them realize their dreams. We need leadership that listens, plans, and brings people together.”
