Trever Nehls running for Fort Bend County Judge
There will be at least one challenger to incumbent Fort Bend County Judge KP George come next November.
Trever Nehls, the twin brother of U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls, announced last week that he has thrown his hat in the ring and will make a run at the countys top elected position in 2022.
Trever Nehls has been publicly flirting with running since at least June, when he announced he was considering a campaign.
The outpouring of support and encouragement has truly been humbling and heartfelt, he said in a statement on his website, announcing the run. While I was planning to make an announcement at an event on Sept. 9, I have decided to reschedule that event given the situation with COVID. Today, I am excited to formally announce that I AM IN for Fort Bend County Judge.
Nehls, a Republican, previously served two terms as the Fort Bend County Precinct 4 Constable and lost his bid for county sheriff to Democratic nominee Eric Fagan last year. In the latter race, Nehls was aiming to succeed his brother, Troy, who served as county sheriff before being elected to Congress last November.
