(Galveston) – Albert Choate added County Treasurer Kevin C. Walsh, CPA and Tax Assessor Cheryl E. Johnson to the growing list of conservative Galveston county political leaders endorsing him for County Commissioner.

County Treasurer Kevin C. Walsh, a Certified Public Accountant who is responsible for investing the County’s money among other duties, said,

“Albert is a fiscal conservative with a Master’s degree and a business background. Galveston County has over 100 million dollars worth of taxpayer money invested at any one time. The Commissioners Court sets the fiscal policy for the county and has a budget of more than 130 million dollars annually. We need someone with Albert’s knowledge and experience making these critical financial decisions.”
 

County Tax Assessor Cheryl E. Johnson, a proven conservative leader, is well known in Austin as a taxpayer advocate, she has vigorously championed meaningful property tax relief and has led the charge in Galveston County for the 3% appraisal cap. “As a Navigation District One Commissioner, Albert cut taxes again this year.

A member of C.L.O.U.T (Citizens Lowering Our Unfair Taxes), he supports the 3% appraisal cap.   Albert is the only candidate for County Commissioner who has proven his ability to cut taxes and keep service quality high. We need another conservative voice on Commissioners Court to help curb wasteful county spending and Albert is that voice.” 

Choate welcomed the strong endorsements and added, “I am honored and humbled by their support and I promise the voters that, if elected, I will work hard, every day, to live up to my promise to be a conservative leader they can trust.”
