Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m Rey Trejo Jr., a lifelong Jim Wells County resident, husband and father, and an oil & gas supervisor with real-world experience managing people, budgets, and tough problems. I’m running for Jim Wells County Judge to bring steady leadership, strong work ethic, and “community first” service that puts families and taxpayers ahead of politics.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Jim Wells County deserves leadership that focuses on the basics and delivers results. As County Judge, I will prioritize roads and infrastructure, responsible budgeting, and strong coordination with our cities and community partners. I’ll push for clear plans, clear timelines, and measurable outcomes, because taxpayers deserve to see where their money goes and what it gets done.
• Economic growth must mean better opportunities for local families. I will work to attract and retain businesses, support small business owners, and build job pathways through workforce development and partnerships. My goal is to help create good-paying jobs, expand opportunity for young people, and strengthen our local economy without raising the burden on taxpayers.
• Public safety, community health, and accountability go together. I will support law enforcement and first responders, improve coordination on mental health and addiction resources, and strengthen transparency in county government. I’m running to serve with integrity, listening to residents, being open about decisions, and putting people over politics every time.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m most passionate about public safety, infrastructure, and economic opportunity. That means keeping our communities safe and supporting first responders, improving roads and county services, and making smart investments that attract jobs and strengthen small businesses. I also care deeply about practical mental health and addiction solutions, helping families get support while improving coordination across local agencies. Above all, I’m passionate about transparency and accountability so taxpayers can trust how decisions are made and how funds are spent.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I’m grateful for the growing support of community members, local leaders, and organizations across Jim Wells County. Additional endorsements will be announced as they are received.
