Fort Bend County Precinct 1 Commissioner Morales seeking reelection for first time since redistricting
Courtesy photoplans to seek re-election this November, his office announced last week.
When Morales was first elected to Precinct 1 commissioner, the district lines were drawn in the Sugar Land area. In December of 2021, Fort Bend County was redistricted, and Precinct 1 effectively swapped places with Precinct 3, making the Katy area part of Morales’ district.Morales has served as Precinct 1 commissioner since 2016, but this will be his first time campaigning in the new bounds of his precinct.
During his time on the commissioner’s court, Morales pushed for infrastructure and mobility improvements, including the additional lanes and frontage roads on the Grand Parkway that are currently underway in Katy. “Our community has vital mobility and infrastructure priorities that are sorely needed to keep up with our population growth,” Morales said. “Some of these projects are years overdue and we need them built as soon as possible to keep up.”"As Fort Bend County grows, we must expand our public safety efforts, provide more law enforcement, and create better coordination at every level of government,” he said.
