Editor's Note: The following is a statement from Burnet County Judge Bryan Wilson who the March 3 primary election. The print version of this editor's note in the Friday, March 6 edition of The Highlander erroneously reported that Wilson won 're-election'. In fact, he was appointed by the Burnet County Commissioners Court in March 2025 to fill an unexpired term. We regret the error.
It has been a great honor to serve as Our Burnet County judge for the last year.
When I applied for the county judge appointment, I laid out a simple message: 1) people first, 2) money matters, and 3) advocacy for Burnet County.
Through tornadoes, floods, budgets, trains, and power lines, I have served alongside the commissioners, our elected officials, county employees, and the public to deliver effective responses that meet people’s needs.
My family and I felt a calling to serve, and we still do.
This election validated that core Republican values matter to voters.
I have committed to planning, analysis, and effective government.
When Chief Deputy Trevino called to congratulate me on the election, we agreed that the most important thing was serving Burnet County.
The next four years will bring both challenges and opportunities for our community.
Important plans are underway to shape our future – including transportation improvements, capital projects, courthouse renovations, building assessments, and thoughtful land-use planning.
These efforts are about making our community safer, stronger, and more prosperous for everyone who lives and works here.
But the best plans come from listening to the people they affect.
Your ideas, experiences, and perspectives matter.
Please watch for upcoming announcements and opportunities to participate.
We encourage you to get involved, share your input, and help us continue building a community we can all be proud of.
Together, we can make a positive difference.
The decisions that the commissioners’ court makes determine what life will be like here, in our home, Our Burnet County.
For those who voted for me -- thank you.
For those who did not vote for me, I am fully committed to serving you and earning your support.
I promise to serve all of Burnet County with my whole heart.
