SUGAR LAND (Covering Katy News) — Certified Public Accountant Kenneth Omoruyi will officially launch his campaign for Fort Bend County Judge on Friday evening, hosting supporters at the Museum of Natural Science in Sugar Land as he seeks the Republican nomination in the 2026 primary election.
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," Omoruyi said in announcing his candidacy last month. "As our community experiences unprecedented growth, we need principled leadership that prioritizes fiscal responsibility, public safety, and transparent governance."
A first-generation American who immigrated from Nigeria, Omoruyi completed a master's degree in business taxation from the University of Southern California before earning his CPA and Enrolled Agent licenses. He previously worked as a senior tax and financial analyst at Schlumberger and currently serves as managing partner of CKO CPAs & Advisors and as an adjunct professor of accounting at Lone Star College.
