(Seguin) — An attorney familiar with local courtrooms has announced his candidacy for Guadalupe County Court at Law #1.
John Green who will be seeking the Republican nomination during the March Primary says he is running to bring stronger leadership, accountability, and a full-time work ethic back to the court.
Green says recent events in his personal life, along with a renewed sense of responsibility to his family and community, have led him to enter the race.
“This changed early this year when my wife and I welcomed our first child, my daughter Cecilia, into the world,” said Green. “This was followed shortly by the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a political commentator who was also a Christian, husband, and father. Both events had a significant impact on my life and what I want to accomplish.”
Green began his legal career as a prosecutor in the same court he now seeks to lead. He later worked in criminal defense before opening his own law firm, where he has represented clients in Guadalupe, Hays, and Comal counties. He says this broad courtroom experience has prepared him to manage the court’s workload and restore consistent daily operations.
“I am a constitutional conservative. Judges must apply the law as written, respect the Constitution, and never use the courtroom for political grandstanding. Justice should be steady, efficient, and always centered on the people we serve,” said Green. “To put it simply, I believe that we all have a duty before God and our community to ensure that we are leaving a better world behind for our progeny. I cannot change the state of the nation, let alone the world. However, if we all affect our local community in a positive way, the effects will aggregate to larger and more drastic positive change over time.”
Green is set to face incumbent William “Bill” Squires III during the March 3 Republican Primary.
