Ricky Gleason, a candidate for Kendall County Judge, is urging residents to participate in early voting from February 17–27, 2026, for the upcoming primary election. 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, emergency readiness, and long-term vision. His priorities include building stronger partnerships between the county, cities, schools, and nonprofits; enhancing flood and wildfire response through coordinated planning and volunteer fire support; and developing a county-wide strategic plan to guide 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,” Gleason added. “We need leadership that listens, plans, and brings people together.” To learn more about Gleason's vision, watch the full interview on The Building Texas Show titled “Why the Kendall County Judge Matters | Candidate Ricky Gleason on Budget, Growth & Service.”
