Issues

The three main issues during this election will be:

• a County Attorney that shares the same conservative values as the voters of Henderson County;
• having an experienced County Attorney from day one;
• and having a dedicated full-time County Attorney.

Kenneth Strawn is the only candidate that is currently working at the Henderson County Attorney’s Office. In this role, Strawn works closely with department heads, elected officials, and the Commissioners Court. Strawn has built strong working relationships across county government while ensuring that county operations are conducted responsibly, efficiently, and in accordance with the law.

Strawn has more than 15 years of experience as a prosecutor and 3 years as a public defender. Throughout his career, Strawn has handled thousands of cases, ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. Strawn has also managed numerous civil matters on behalf of the State and County. His broad courtroom experience and understanding of both criminal and civil law provide the balanced, practical judgment needed to serve effectively as County Attorney.

“I’ve spent my entire professional life serving the public,” Strawn said. “That experience has taught me the importance of fairness, accountability, and working together to solve problems. Henderson County deserves a full-time County Attorney—someone fully dedicated to protecting our community and serving our citizens every day.” Strawn stated he will not maintain a private practice on the side, which is allowed by law. “Serving as County Attorney, will be my only job.”  “This office belongs to the people,” he said. “As your full-time County Attorney, I will continue to serve with integrity, accessibility, and a deep commitment to justice for all.”

Strawn is active in several professional and conservative organizations, including the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, and the National Rifle Association. Strawn is also a member of the Henderson County Bar Association, where he has previously served as President and Vice President. He is also an Eagle Scout, reflecting a commitment to leadership, service, and community values.

As a Republican, Strawn emphasized his commitment to conservative values, responsible leadership, fiscal responsibility, and transparency in local government.
