In Fort Bend County, Democrat Dexter McCoy led Republican Daniel Wong in the county judge race, and Democrats led the countywide district attorney, district clerk, county clerk and treasurer contests; Democratic incumbents Grady Prestage and April Jones led the Precinct 2 and Precinct 4 commissioner races, while Republicans led two Precinct 1 justice of the peace contests. Fort Bend ISD incumbents Angie Hanan and Shirley Rose-Gilliam led their trustee races, with Rose-Gilliam’s lead relatively narrow.
