THE WOODLANDS, TX – Montgomery County Precinct 3 Commissioner James Noack announced his ‘Keep Your Commissioner’ Campaign for the upcoming election in 2024.

Commissioner Noack, the proven conservative leader and taxpayer advocate on Montgomery County Commissioners Court is up for re-election starting with the March 5, Republican primary election. Early voting runs February 20 through March 1, 2024.

“I love serving as your commissioner. During my tenure I have cut the tax rate, improved mobility, and increased services and public safety, keeping Precinct 3 as one of the best places you can live,” Noack stated in announcing his re-election campaign.

“This success is why I have no plans on leaving. I want to keep serving you. That’s why I’m announcing my Keep Your Commissioner campaign. By keeping your commissioner, you will keep the best staff in the county, keep excellent customer service, keep a taxpayer advocate on Commissioners Court, and keep a leader who is not afraid to stand up for you.
