In Montgomery County, we know that storm season isn’t a matter of “if,” it’s a matter of “when.” But in recent years, our community has faced more than just the usual thunderstorms. We have faced historic freezes, devastating floods, hurricanes, and a global pandemic.
During these times of crisis, leadership isn’t about sitting behind a desk waiting for reports. It’s about putting boots on the ground and getting results.
Since taking office, Judge Mark Keough has served as the Director of the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management through 13 natural disasters, with 8 of those being Federally Declared Disasters.
This unprecedented run of challenges has proven one thing: Judge Keough is the battle-tested leader we need when chaos strikes.
A New Standard of Readiness
When disaster hits, seconds count. Bureaucracy costs lives. That is why Judge Keough has fundamentally changed how Montgomery County prepares for the worst.
Under his leadership, we don’t wait for permission from Washington D.C. or Austin to start saving our neighborhoods. Judge Keough has focused on:
- Cutting Red Tape: Streamlining communication between state and local agencies to get assets – like high-water rescue vehicles and generators – deployed faster than ever before.
- Proactive Staging: Ensuring resources are on the ground before the storm hits, so our first responders aren’t playing catch-up.
- Direct Accountability: Whether it’s holding utility monopolies like CenterPoint accountable for power restoration or demanding answers from FEMA, Judge Keough fights for Montgomery County residents first.
We are no longer just reacting to disasters; we are staying one step ahead of them.
The “Disaster” of Government Overreach
Sometimes, the biggest threat to our community isn’t a hurricane; it’s the government itself.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders across the country panicked. They shut down businesses, closed churches, and stripped citizens of their constitutional rights. Judge Keough refused to surrender.
He recognized that a job is more than just a paycheck, it is a lifeline for a family. By keeping Montgomery County OPEN for business, Judge Keough saved thousands of livelihoods and protected our local economy. He proved that a true conservative leader trusts the people to make their own health decisions rather than ruling by mandate.
The Conservative Heart: Protecting the Vulnerable
True conservatism isn’t just about fiscal responsibility; it’s also about compassion. It is the belief that government’s primary role during a crisis is to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Throughout every freeze and flood, Judge Keough’s priority has been our most vulnerable neighbors; our seniors, the disabled, and those in medical fragility.
- Prioritizing Power: Fighting to ensure nursing homes and critical care facilities are first in line for power restoration.
- Community First: coordinating with local churches and non-profits to ensure that when the government’s reach ends, our community’s embrace begins.
We don’t leave our neighbors behind in Montgomery County. Judge Keough’s administration ensures that while able-bodied citizens have the freedom to work and rebuild, the county’s shield covers those who need it most.
The Clear Choice for a Safer Future
We cannot predict the next storm, but we can predict who will be ready to meet it.
Judge Mark Keough has the experience, the grit, and the conservative principles to lead us through any challenge. He has faced the fire, the flood, and the Feds – and he has never backed down.
Keep the leader who keeps us safe.
Re-Elect Judge Mark Keough.
