**Endorsement by Bill Rickert, Fort Bend County Treasurer, for Kenneth Omoruyi for Texas Congressional District 7 Republican Runoff**

19-May-2024

As the Treasurer of Fort Bend County, I have always valued integrity, dedication, and a genuine commitment to serving our community. It is with these values in mind that I proudly endorse Kenneth Omoruyi in the Texas Congressional District 7 Republican Runoff.

Kenneth Omoruyi stands out as a candidate who embodies the principles of honesty, hard work, and a steadfast dedication to improving the lives of his constituents. His professional background as a CPA and his community service record reflect his deep understanding of the issues that matter most to our district, including safety, economic development, education, and healthcare.

In contrast, recent actions by his opponent, Caroline Kane, have resorted to negative campaigning, focusing on attacks rather than substantive discussions about policies and vision. Such tactics not only detract from the important issues at hand but also undermine the spirit of constructive political discourse that our community deserves. The negative and deliberate deception campaigning by Caroline Kane does a disservice to voters who are seeking genuine solutions and a representative who will work tirelessly on their behalf.

Kenneth Omoruyi has consistently demonstrated his commitment to positive, solution-oriented leadership. He has articulated clear, pragmatic plans to address the challenges we face, from supporting small businesses to advocating for robust educational opportunities and the importance of quality healthcare. His approach is rooted in collaboration, transparency, and a genuine desire to bring about meaningful change.

Our community deserves a leader who rises above negativity and focuses on what truly matters. Kenneth Omoruyi is that leader. His vision for Texas Congressional District 7 is one of unity, progress, and hope. I am confident that his election will bring about the positive change we need and set a new standard for public service.

I urge you to join me in supporting Kenneth Omoruyi in the Texas Congressional District 7 Republican Runoff. Together, we can move forward with a leader who embodies the best of what our district has to offer.

Sincerely,

Bill Rickert Fort Bend County Treasurer
Texas Congressional District 7 Resident

Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That quote isn’t from President Trump, it’s the conclusion of the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker.

Vote AGAINST Prop 12 !!!

Let the People’s Voice Be Heard:
Reject Proposition 12

By Bill Rickert

The People should have a voice in how their tax dollars are managed, and in 1875 the Texas Constitution created a structure of checks and balances for county government. Every four years, you elect someone you trust to manage the county’s funds. If they perform poorly, you fire them at the ballot box.

The authors of our state constitution wisely created an elected treasurer’s office in every county to ensure the separation of powers between the Commissioners Court, which sets the county’s budget, and the County Treasurer, who manages and disburses the funds. This balance of power is fundamental to the checks and balances that make county government work for the People.

The framers gave the People final authority on questions of amending the constitution. Two-thirds of the legislature may put a proposed amendment on the ballot, but a majority of voters must approve it. That’s why you are asked to vote on amendments that seemingly don’t concern you. Beware the amendment’s stated purpose—drafted by legislators who put it on the ballot—may be less benign than it sounds. Its implications may be far-reaching.

Proposition 12 on the November 7 ballot reads, "The constitutional amendment providing for the abolition of the office of County Treasurer in Galveston County."

You may think what happens in Galveston County doesn’t affect the rest of us. Why, then, does the Constitution require the whole state to vote on Prop 12? Abolishing the County Treasurer’s office would eliminate the separation of powers in Galveston County and concentrate power over county money solely in the Commissioner's Court. That’s dangerous for all Texans.

The County Treasurer is the chief custodian, administrator, and disburser of county funds. State laws precisely govern their conduct of duties, and they post a personal bond to ensure they meet this bar (in my case a total of $600,000). Because they are elected, County Treasurers are independent—not beholden to any county official or employee. In fact, Texas law authorizes County Treasurers to challenge the Commissioner's Court if they question the legality and propriety of a payment order. An elected County Treasurer has mandatory training requirements which must be met to remain in office. I personally have earned over 300 credit hours in county treasurer-specific training and Public Funds Investment, since taking office January, 1st, 2019.

The County Treasurer’s independence sometimes irks commissioners, which is a byproduct of good checks and balances.

Proponents of Prop 12 say the County Treasurer’s office is outdated. However, the treasurer’s scope of duties and the need for accountability has only grown as technology has produced new, complex ways to pilfer taxpayer funds.

Supporters falsely claim abolishing the office will save money. But even if abolished, the County Treasurer’s legally mandated work still must be done—minus accountability to the People. In Galveston County, commissioners deleted two positions in the County Treasurer’s office but added a new position in the budget office to perform the treasurer’s work, for a $58,000 net increase in the county budget.

Incidentally, the Commissioners Court can fire budget office employees without cause if they question expenditures.

The Galveston County Commissioners Court also moved the duty of investing public funds from the treasurer’s office to the budget office. No legally required quarterly investment reports have been posted on the county’s website since. Galveston County’s financial transparency has already eroded, and that will continue without an elected treasurer directly accountable to the People.

Unfortunately, constitutional amendments usually pass, partly due to low voter turnout in off-year elections. Voters who think niche issues don’t affect them stay home, giving those pushing the measures disproportionate sway.

Before deciding Prop 12, voters statewide should understand what a County Treasurer does and the consequences of abolishing the office: You relinquish your right to choose who manages the county’s money. You lose transparency, accountability, and separation of powers. You lose the People’s Voice.

Preserve the Texas Constitution’s intent. Vote AGAINST on Proposition 12.
