FBN: Carreon Seeking Counties Top Spot!

Carreon Announces He Is Seeking To Replace Bob Hebert As Chief County Judge!

Rodrigo Carreon is seeking the office of Chief County Judge this November 2nd held currently by heavily developer backed incumbent Bob Hebert. He won his parties nomination in March of this year by sweeping the primaries.

Mr. Carreon is a community activist and former candidate for commissioners court precinct 1 during the 2008 campaign season. He regularly attends and speaks at commissioners court on issues from over taxation and the public desire for appraisal and rate caps to the need for greater county-wide ordinances on ethics to limit the influences of special interest on the court, as has been the case for many years now.

In 2006 Rodrigo initiated a challenge through the county court system involving the appraisal district process, which often over-values property owners on the "wrong-side" (rural) of development as well above the state legal limits. He won this case in 2009 and continues his activism for the middle class through his current appeals on related matters. He is a staunch opponent of the TTC project, landfill expansion to 20 stories at Blue Ridge near Missouri City and advocates for improvements to our current road system without the need for further tolling authorities.

Mr. Carreon was a member of the 2007 FBISD bond committee and has worked tirelessly as a community volunteer on numerous cross-party campaigns that work to represent local residents interests rather than the out of area special interests that so often direct our local governments. He has acted as a commissioners court and school board watch advocate for a number of years and is highly respected by many leaders for his work, service and volunteerism.
