Summary of Candidate Professional/Civic Background:

I bring a diverse professional background spanning the financial services, service, and small business sectors. My experience includes working as a bank teller, personal banker, and bank manager, followed by a career as a licensed professional home inspector. I am currently a small business owner.

In addition to my professional experience, I have been actively involved in my community. I have volunteered with the Pearland Parks Department and participated in citywide community cleanup initiatives. I have also served on my homeowners association board, contributing to neighborhood governance and community decision-making.

Why would you be an effective leader in this role?

I have always approached my work and service with thoughtfulness, consistency, and respect for others. These values guide my decision-making and inform how I treat the people I serve.

My experience in banking, customer service, and small business ownership has given me a strong understanding of accountability, fairness, and sound judgment.

These experiences have prepared me to administer justice fairly and equitably for a diverse community.

What platform points that are important to you?

If elected Justice of the Peace, I will be fair and impartial, with unwavering loyalty to the law. Every individual who enters my courtroom will be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.

I will be visible, accessible, and engaged in the community. I believe the office of Justice of the Peace should be a positive and trusted presence, and I am committed to educating the public about the role of the court and its services.

Commissioner

Brazoria County Commissioner Pct. 4-Becky Singleton

Campaign Email: Beckcco.ES@Gmail.com

Campaign Website: http://www.beckysingletonforcommissioner.com/

Summary of Candidate Professional/Civic Background:

I have always put the needs of my community first, running for Alvin
ISD School Board twice and supporting Alvin ISD as a PTO President in several schools. I have worked with the Homeless Coalition of Houston and supported Victims of Domestic Violence.

I currently own a successful specialty construction company. I previously worked for Polaroid Corporation where I trained Law Enforcement on documenting crime scenes, which I implemented the largest placement of cameras in every local and state law enforcement vehicle. My experience spread to working in Medical Device for Johnson and Johnson where I trained surgeons on new minimally invasive procedures. I also worked for the National Football League for seven years for Player Development.

Why would you be an effective leader in this role?

I bring strong leadership skills shaped by my professional experience.
I excel at creating, implementing, and executing strategic plans that
turn vision into action. I have a proven ability to build something from
nothing and to positively impact the lives of those around me.

What are three platform points that are important to you?

1) Our County needs a Mental Health facility. We are too large not to
have one or expect people to drive into other counties to get what they
need. My goal is to partner with an established medical group to
execute this plan.
2) Food Bank for the residents in BC who need assistance. I will be
working with the county and finding farm land to grow food. I’d
like to partner with a FFA to give the students a project to work on in
their community.
3) Since FEMA is at risk for not being able to help our residence in the
event of natural disaster I want to work with the Judge and other
commissioners to have a solid evacuation and support plan under
those circumstances.

Summary of Candidate Professional/Civic Background:

I am an attorney and Senator for State Senate District 16 (Dallas County) since 2018, flipped a 30 year Republican seat.

Prior to my election to the Texas Senate, I served as follows

  • Pro Bono Attorney, Human Rights Institute of Dallas
  • 3rd-grade reading tutor with Reading Partners
  • Chair, Dallas County Trails and Preservation Board
  • Bedford Mentor, University of North Texas Law School
  • Youth Soccer Coach, YMCA
  • Member, Flinn Scholar Alumni Advisory Council
  • Participant, Leadership Dallas Program

Why would you be an effective leader in this role?

While my experience as a commercial litigator is helpful, my eight years of
service in the state senate have afforded me skills, knowledge and perspective that will allow me to effectively lead the OAG in the public interest.

As state senator, I have passed 135 bills, including legislation that provided health insurance to 350,000 low-income Texans for the first time, provided free pre-k to teachers’ children, created a program that prevents critical infrastructure from losing power for more than 3 days, increased penalties on polluters, protects consumers from AI scams and invasions of data privacy, throttled corporate scheming of tax breaks, and much more. I have also advanced legislation to reverse the regressive policies that undermine our rights, and battled the legislation that forms the basis of Ken Paxton’s headline machine. I’ve been on the frontline of virtually every Democratic battle, while also passing important legislation.

My experience in the Senate has given me a deeper awareness of how the laws we pass often depart from basic legal principles and the Constitution, and how they often produce unjust consequences. Our legal and constitutional frameworks – enshrining rights and process – are monuments of progress, and as Attorney General, I will not let anyone tear them down.

When talking recently with a Democratic AG from another state, I asked him whether legislators make better AGs. “Yes. We’re better at this.” “Better than whom?”, I asked. Better than prosecutors, better than plaintiffs or defense attorneys. He explained: AGs are not just lawyers trying the cases they’re paid to try, and the OAG is not just a law firm. The office of attorney general is a political position that requires political skill. It profoundly affects public policy, changes the behavior of market players, influences public perceptions, affects justice and safety and consumer welfare, protects (or doesn’t) the environment, upholds (or doesn’t) civil and political rights, advises and guides agencies, and vastly more. To be effective the AG must be able to build coalitions among political forces at
home – including among AGs from other states, and to work both against and with the other political party.

What are three platform points that are important to you?

  1. End the corrupt use of the office for personal and political ends. Key will be re-building an agency (the OAG) by hiring great people.
  2. Elevate consumer protection and enforce market laws (state and federal
    antitrust and other laws governing business practices). Both have received insufficient attention over the past several decades, and the federal government is all but shutting them both down. The AG combats unethical business practices such as market consolidation (e.g. private equity buying healthcare practices and housing), predatory pricing, fraud, and all kinds of scams. This will help with cost
    of living, too.
  3. Make government work:
    (i) protect our rights as people and as a state, which will mean, among other things, suing the Trump administration whenever they break the law or violate the constitution, both of which, alas, occur with frequency
    (ii) routinely partner with district attorneys to actually improve public
    safety while promoting just and effective law enforcement
    (iii) work with agencies and the Legislature and with businesses to make certain that everybody has a better understanding of the rules, follows the rules, operates equitably, and gets in trouble if they break the rules.

Summary of Candidate Professional/Civic Background:

Four terms as State Representative in HD135 (Northwest Harris County), and worked for over 25 years in and around oilfields as an engineer, working around the world, and in Texas, on construction projects in the oil industry.

Why would you be an effective leader in this role?

I am the only candidate for Railroad Commission (RRC) in 2026 with both an energy industry technical background and experience, and also Legislative experience, and I will actually fight for consumer protections like affordability, reliability, and sustainability. My most likely opponents will uphold the status quo and do the industry’s bidding. I believe the RRC must work to lower power bills for Texas working families while we strengthen our energy infrastructure and grow our global energy leadership.

What are three platform points that are important to you?

Reliable Power: Ensuring we produce enough energy to meet the demands of the Texas Grid 

Affordability: Stopping the price gauging on power bills that all of us are paying for their failure during Winter Storm Uri

Good Jobs: Standing up to Trump and other Republicans who are undermining nearly half a million oil and gas jobs in Texas by importing massive amounts of foreign oil

Summary of Candidate Professional/Civic Background:

I am an Army veteran, a former Army Ranger, a public school teacher, a businessman, and an elected trustee on the largest school district board in Texas. I teach sixth grade English Language Arts, giving me firsthand experience with how state budgets directly affect classrooms, families, and communities. As a school board trustee, I work with large budgets, public oversight, and accountability, while advocating for transparency and equity. I also have experience as an investor and small business owner, which grounds my understanding of taxation, state contracts, and economic growth from the perspective of everyday Texans.

Why Do You Believe You Would Be an Effective Leader in this Role?

I believe effective leadership starts with understanding how decisions impact real people. I bring lived experience as a veteran, educator, and working Texan who balances a household budget just like millions of others. I am committed to transparency, data driven decision making, and ethical stewardship of public funds. I am not running to protect special interests. I am running to modernize the Comptroller’s office, restore public trust, and ensure Texas financial systems work for everyone, not just a few.

What are three platform points that are important to you?

First, full transparency and accountability in state finances, including modernized reporting systems and regular audits of state agencies so Texans can clearly see how their tax dollars are spent.

Second, restoring and strengthening the Texas HUB program to ensure women, veteran, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Indigenous owned businesses have fair access to state contracts.

Third, using the state budget to fully fund public education and expand broadband access across Texas, recognizing that education and connectivity are essential infrastructure for economic growth.

Justice of the Peace Pct 4, Place 2-Stephanie Baird

Campaign Email: sbaird4jp@gmail.com

Campaign Website: Coming Soon

Candidate Bio: My name is Stephanie Baird; I am a veteran, a nurse, and an Ally. I am also running for Brazoria County Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4 Place 2.
I’m a native Texan but briefly lived in both Florida and Saudi Arabia
when I was young. In 2005, I separated from the US Coast Guard and
enrolled in school for aircraft mechanics, graduating in 2006. I left
aviation and attended Alvin Community College for nursing, graduating
in 2010.

In almost 16 years of experience as a nurse I have worked in
correctional, mental health and substance abuse facilities. This gives me
a unique perspective and advantage that I can bring to this office. My
medical background is also a benefit when considering inquests since
Brazoria Co. does not have any death investigators currently.
I will uphold the same high ethical standard on the bench as I do in my
nursing career. I will also advocate for de-stigmatizing mental health
and substance use disorders, and encourage harm reduction, and
education. I will also continue to fight for marginalized communities; I
believe diversity makes the community.

Vote for Ethics, Education, and Empathy.

Vote Stephanie Baird for Brazoria County Justice of the Peace 4-2.
