Josh Fitzgerald for 253rd District Judge
The RIGHT time for the RIGHT choice.
Republican Primary: March 3, 2026
Early Voting Begins: February 17, 2026
After 35 years, it's time for a new choice.
I'm Josh Fitzgerald—a Liberty County native, attorney with nearly 20 years of experience, and a father of two. I'm running for 253rd District Judge because I believe our courts can do better. Better for victims waiting for justice. Better for families in crisis. Better for taxpayers funding the system.
I'm not a politician. I'm running to serve—with efficiency, fairness, and accountability to you.
Three Pillars
Efficiency
Cases are dragging on for years. Taxpayers are losing up to $1.7 million annually to preventable delays. I'll bring modern docket management and a sense of urgency to our courts.
Fairness
Every person who enters the courtroom deserves to be treated with dignity and have their case decided based on the law and the facts—nothing else.
Accountability
Our courts should answer to you, not the system. I'll bring transparency, fresh perspective, and leadership focused on results.
