On Tuesday, Republican Dustin Fawcett announced he has filed to run for the office of Ector County Judge for the March 1 Republican Primary.
“We are at a critical time here in Ector County,” Fawcett stated in the press release. “Whether it was the pandemic, the February freeze, or even the constrained relationship within our institutions, Ector County and its citizens are starving for strong leadership. My campaign will not be about divisive partisan politics, but about unifying public policy. We will seek to solve problems in pursuit of progression and vision rather than regression and division.”
Fawcett is reportedly a seventh generation Texan whose Odessan roots date back to his late grandfather Coach Myron Schneider, who was recently honored with the naming of Nimitz Junior High School’s football field.
Fawcett has two daughters, Margaret (Maggie) Grace and Mia Faith with the love of his life Jennifer, the press release detailed.
When Dustin isn’t working or spending time with his family, he reportedly serves the local community on the following boards: Center’s for Children and Families, Young Professionals of Odessa, Alzheimer’s Association: Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Jesus House Women and Children Center, City of Odessa Traffic Advisory Committee, City of Odessa Capital Improvement Advisory Committee, and ConnEctor Task Force: Broadband Initiative.
Fawcett has developed a plan to ensure Ector County can get back on track and flourishes for the years to come, the press release stated.
“My plan is simple, we focus on three pillars that must become the foundation for our success here in Ector County: Investing in our Infrastructure, utilizing and leveraging relationships with our local Institutions, and creating a culture county-wide that fosters Innovation by focusing on economic development and American Entrepreneurship,” Fawcett stated in the press release. “I have no doubt that with these three foundational pillars and with the great people of our community, we will be headed in the right direction. Together we can take on this task and together we will exceed all expectations. Ector Together.”
Fawcett is reportedly inviting the public and the media to join him for a special announcement at 2:30 p.m. Thursday at the Ector County Commissioner’s Chambers.
