During the second of two candidate forums hosted by The Boerne Star last Wednesday evening, six Republican candidates for Kendall County judge and Precinct 4 county commissioner met at Kronkosky Place to present their qualifications to the community and discuss issues like transportation, water scarcity and rapid development.
Candidates first introduced themselves and gave their initial bid to potential voters. Precinct 4 commissioner candidate Chad Carpenter started by telling the audience that he was a Kendall County commissioner in 2016 and would love to serve again in the same way. Competitor Gary Louie described community service and outreach as his best asset for the office. Patty Martinez noted her 34-year career in the San Antonio Police Department.
For county judge, Richard Elkins introduced himself as a public servant of Kendall County for the past 14 years in his service on government committees, the Boerne ISD school board and as a county commissioner. Shane Stolarcyzk underlined his legal experience and ability to “defend Kendall County residents whenever it’s needed.” Chris Taylor explained he wants to return to serve his hometown after years of experience in the business and technology industry.
