BRINGING UNMATCHED PREPARATION, PROVEN LEADERSHIP, AND A DETAILED PLAN FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH THAT MAKES SENSE FOR FORT BEND.

MISSOURI CITY, TX, UNITED STATES, February 9, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Eddie Sajjad, a longtime Fort Bend County resident, entrepreneur, and community advocate, has officially announced his candidacy for Fort Bend County Judge. A resident of Fort Bend County since 1997 (Houston – Since 1991), Eddie has spent over two decades building businesses, mentoring entrepreneurs, and developing real, actionable solutions to drive economic growth, technological advancement, and stronger communities.

"Fort Bend is more than where I live—it’s home. I grew up here, built my career here, and continue to build my future and raise my family here. I understand the challenges our community faces, because I’ve lived them firsthand," said Eddie.

"This campaign can't just be about politics as usual—it has to be about ideation, execution, and impact. Fort Bend County is at a critical point. Residents are paying more in taxes, but they aren’t seeing the improvements they deserve. Our infrastructure is behind, our employees aren't fairly compensated, public safety needs modernization, and small businesses need support. While others are just starting their campaigns, my plans are ready to be executed on day one."

Eddie’s campaign is fully formed, backed by years of planning and a detailed strategy to transform Fort Bend County. With over 20 years of experience in entrepreneurship, small business growth, and technology, he has a proven track record of delivering real-world solutions.

"The County Judge isn’t just a ceremonial role—it’s practically the CEO of Fort Bend County. We need a leader who understands how to manage growth, generate revenue, and make our government work smarter. That’s exactly what I will bring to the table."

A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO GENERATE $100M+ IN NEW ANNUAL REVENUE & CREATE 10,000+ GREAT PAYING JOBS
One of Eddie’s top priorities is reducing Fort Bend’s reliance on residential property taxes, which currently account for over 80% of the county’s revenue. His plan includes diversifying income sources through economic growth, business expansion, and technology-driven public-private partnerships that will bring in $100M+ in new annual revenue and create over 10,000 new jobs.

"Infrastructure improvements, public safety, and community development all require funding. Without increasing county revenue, we cannot execute the initiatives Fort Bend desperately needs. My plan ensures that we don’t just talk about change—we actually fund and implement it."

10 INITIATIVES TO TRANSFORM FORT BEND COUNTY
Eddie’s campaign is centered around 10 groundbreaking initiatives, all designed to strengthen the county’s economy, infrastructure, and community engagement:
1. Shared Plate Community Kitchen: A county-wide zero food wastage initiative that feeds families, reduces food waste, and teaches culinary skills.
2. TechBridge AI Training: A first-of-its-kind AI education program to help residents overcome fear of AI, gain valuable skills, and future-proof their careers.
3. The Forge: Technology Incubator: A Fort Bend-based tech startup hub, ensuring that businesses stay local and reinvest in the county’s economy.
