J.C. Taylor, a sixth-generation Texan, local business leader and lifelong Kendall County resident, today announced his candidacy for Kendall County Commissioner, Precinct 2. Running as a proven conservative, Taylor is committed to implementing a long-term strategic vision, protecting property rights, and ensuring responsible infrastructure planning amid rapid regional growth.

A Stake in the Future
With his children representing the fourth generation of his family raised in Kendall County, Taylor brings a deeply personal commitment to preserving the community’s values, safety, and rural character. An active community servant - involved with the Fair Oaks Ranch Rotary Club, Knights of Columbus and local zoning boards - Taylor understands that effective leadership means listening first and serving always.

Three-Priority Platform
If elected, Taylor will focus on:

1. A Five-Year Strategic Plan: Creating Kendall County’s first unified roadmap to guide responsible growth, land use, water resource management and county services.
2. Infrastructure: Prioritizing road maintenance, water security, and sustainable funding for volunteer fire and EMS services, particularly in high-growth areas like Bergheim.
3. Public Safety: Strengthening partnerships between the county, cities, school districts and state agencies to coordinate and ensure the safety of residents.

In His Own Words:

“We can’t rely on short-term fixes. We need sustainable, long-term solutions that reflect how Kendall County will look five, ten, and fifteen years from now,” said Taylor. “I’ve seen Kendall County change - some of it good, some challenging. We need principled leadership that plans ahead, protects what makes our community special, and ensures government works alongside residents - not against them. My goal is to preserve our high quality of life for generations to come.”

A Boerne High School and UTSA graduate, Taylor serves as Vice President of Strategy at the family-owned Texas Star Nut & Food Company. His professional experience in business strategy and operations informs his practical approach to county governance. Taylor is also a dedicated board member, volunteer and faithful community servant through organizations like ACTS.
