Williamson County commissioners announced the names of four candidates being considered for the vacant county judge position during a March 25 meeting.
Candidates were chosen less than one month after former county judge Bill Gravell resigned March 11 to accept a position in President Donald Trump's administration.
Meet the candidates
Precinct 3 Commissioner Valerie Covey—Williamson County's presiding judge—said the four candidates include:
- Andrew Webb
- Steven Snell
- Matt Powell
- Elvis Lossa
Candidates will be interviewed by commissioners at the Williamson County Courthouse at 2:30 p.m., March 27. According to county documents, commissioners could appoint the next county judge that day, or at a later date.
Officials did not discuss the list of candidates beforehand, Precinct 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long said.
How we got here
On March 14, commissioners began a search for the next county judge. Interested candidates had about one week to send each commissioner a resume and cover letter, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
Covey said commissioners met with candidates as schedules allowed before each commissioner made a decision on who to interview ahead of the March 25 Williamson County commissioners meeting.
“I visited with a great number of people,” Covey said. “Thank you to all of those that were very interested in the role of county judge.”
