Bill Rickert- Fort Bend County Treasurer

As Fort Bend County Treasurer, l’ve had the privilege of working alongside our current and retiring County Clerk Laura Richard who is deeply committed to integrity, fiscal responsibility, transparency, and service to our residents. It is with great pride that I endorse J.J. Clemence for Fort Bend County Clerk in the March 3, 2026 Republican primary.

J.J. Clemence has a long track record of responsible leadership, professional excellence, and community service that uniquely qualifies her to lead the County Clerk’s Office. With more than twenty years of experience spanning the private, public, and government sectors, she brings proven expertise in audit, compliance, operations, and financial stewardship, skills that are vital for safeguarding the records, processes, and trust that our residents rely on every day.

As Audit Leader for Harris County Public Health, J.J. built an entire internal audit function, strengthening transparency, accountability, and operational effectiveness. Her professional background in internal controls and risk management is exactly the kind of leadership we need in the Clerk’s Office.

Beyond her professional qualifications, J.J.’s commitment to community is unmatched. As Founder and Chair of the Clemence Youth Foundation, she has uplifted families and empowered young people across Fort Bend County through volunteer programs, leadership initiatives, and civic-minded outreach.

J.J. is running to continue the strong legacy of service in the Clerk’s Office – focused on accessibility, customer service, accountability, and ensuring every resident’s records are secure and accessible.

In these challenging times, Fort Bend deserves a County Clerk who will champion efficiency, uphold taxpayer trust, and bring thoughtful, experienced leadership to every aspect of the office. I am confident that J.J. Clemence will do just that.

I enthusiastically support J.J. Clemence for Fort Bend County Clerk and urge voters who value professionalism, conservative principles, and community service to join me in casting their ballot for her on March 3, 2026.

Fort Bend County Treasurer
