In Fort Bend County, a local election is underway. Daniel Wong, the Republican nominee for county judge, is expected to remain in his role until the November election. He is running against Dexter McCoy, a Democratic commissioner.

A challenge for the county is that McCoy, along with another Democratic commissioner, has been boycotting commissioners court meetings since June. This boycott raises questions about achieving a quorum, particularly as discussions about the budget and tax rate approach. Further details about this situation are available from Houston Public Media, which is following the developments in Fort Bend County.
