Fowler announces intent to run for re-election

Special to The Cuero Record

DeWitt County judge Daryl L. Fowler announces his intent to run for re-election subject to the Republican Primary in 2022.

Judge Fowler assumed his current duties in January 2011. He has been the guiding hand for commissioners’ court policy development and an effective advocate for the sharing of state revenue during the development of the Eagle Ford Shale Play. His advocacy has produced more than $475 million for a county road transportation infrastructure grant program (CTIF Grant) created by the Texas Legislature in 2013.

The Commissioners Court has held the tax rate steady for eight consecutive years, applied more than $120 million to the rebuilding of the county road system, and is building an annex on Clinton Street in Cuero with cash reserves.

In his announcement, Judge Fowler states, “I hope voters approve of this record of accomplishments and allow me to continue serving their needs while we have significant Eagle Ford Shale drilling activity.”

In addition to serving DeWitt County as its chief budget officer, he is a deacon of his church. He also serves as a trustee of the Gulf Bend Center and is a member of the Investment Committee of the Texas Association of Counties that oversees $700 million in assets used for the payment of claims made to the association’s Property and Casualty Insurance and Health and Employee Benefit Programs.
