RICHMOND, Texas (Covering Katy News) — Kenneth Omoruyi, a certified public accountant and managing partner of CKO CPAs and Advisors, announced Monday his candidacy for Fort Bend County judge in the 2026 Republican primary.
Omoruyi, who serves on the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy after being appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott, is positioning his campaign around fiscal responsibility and public safety as the county approaches 1 million residents.
"Fort Bend County stands at a crossroads," said Omoruyi. "As our community experiences unprecedented growth, we need principled leadership that prioritizes fiscal responsibility, public safety, and transparent governance. My experience as a CPA and business owner has taught me that every taxpayer dollar must be stewarded with the utmost care and accountability."
He previously worked at Schlumberger and lists experience as an adjunct professor at Lone Star College on his LinkedIn page. He attended Harvard Kennedy School and describes himself as a "national award-winning accountant."
He plans an official launch of the campaign on September 20.
