Galveston County Politics

Former Galveston mayor Roger “Bo” Quiroga on Friday announced his candidacy for Galveston County Commissioner Precinct 2 in the 2006 Democratic primary.  

“I’m excited to have this opportunity to bring my experience as three term mayor of Galveston to Galveston County” said Quiroga.  

Quiroga states that he was instrumental in bringing Galveston the growth and fiscal responsibility it is experiencing today, including economic development of $1.5 billion, a thriving cruise business, a more than $5 million ready reserve, and a steady tax rate.  

“I will build on this record of serving the public interest at the county level,” he said.  

Others who have announced their candidacy for the position that will be vacated by Commissioner Eddie Janek, who is not seeking reelection, are Eddie Janek, Jr., who will run in the Republican Primary, and Albert Choate, also a Republican.
