A Message from Judge Mark Keough –  “Serving as your County Judge is the honor of a lifetime. When I took office, I made a contract with the citizens of Montgomery County to lead with transparency, cut waste, and put the people first – and I am proud to say we have kept those promises. My background isn’t just in leadership; it’s in business and ministry. I spent 26 years in the American automotive industry and years serving as a pastor teaching biblical principles; experiences that taught me the value of communication, hard work, and ethical leadership.

From leading our county through pandemics like Covid, keeping our county open and operating, guiding our community through 13 natural disasters, economic challenges, to common sense decisions like removing tolls on SH 242, my focus has always been on protecting your constitutional rights and your quality of life. My wife Kim and I have raised our family here in The Woodlands since 1996, and I am as committed as ever to ensuring Montgomery County remains the best place in Texas to live, work, and worship.”
