Michelle Gutierrez Cohen , a Democratic Hays County judge runoff candidate, talks to a voter at a polling station at the Hays CISD Academic Support Center.
Democratic candidate for Hays County judgeTexas primary runoffs occur when no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote. Becerra was just shy of that threshold in March, receiving 49.1% of the vote. Gutierrez Cohen, the Precinct 2 county commissioner, received 45.4%. Becerra, who lives in San Marcos, has served as Hays County judge since 2019.
He describes himself as a pro-business Democrat. In his time as judge, Becerra has worked to make improvements to the county's indigent healthcare system, which provides medical and prescription coverage for low-income residents who do not qualify for Medicaid or other state and federal health insurance. Becerra said he hopes to expand the system if reelected.
Gutierrez Cohen has also focused much of her time on Commissioners Court addressing public health issues, including working to find funding for the county’s mobile vaccine clinic, which offers flu and COVID-19 shots for residents. She said she hopes to continue this work if reelected. Both candidates also share visions for reforming criminal justice in Hays County and working to improve infrastructure in the region.
