(Seguin) — The only contested countywide judicial race on the Republican ballot Tuesday has resulted in a victory for incumbent William “Bill” Squires III.
Judge Squires defeated local attorney John Green for the GOP nomination for County Court at Law No. 1 judge.
Squires finished the race with 9,740 of the votes cast, while Green trailed with 6,307 votes.
With no Democratic challenger on the ballot this fall, Squires is poised to begin a new elected term in January 2027.
Squires, who has served as County Court at Law Judge for the last seven years, says he was amazed by the outpouring of support from voters and looks forward to continuing his work in the courtroom.
“I’m very happy for my support from the community, and my friends and family and everyone that came out to vote, and everyone who has been by me the entire time and supported the campaign — and the voters who were not distracted and kept their eyes on who the most qualified candidate for the position was,” said Squires.
Green was unavailable for comment following Tuesday’s results.
