About Joel

Welcome. I’m Joel Martin.

I’m a serial entrepreneur, business owner, builder, and father who lives and works right here in Hays County. My family comes first. That principle shapes how I lead, how I work, and why I am running for County Judge. County government should operate with the same care and responsibility we expect in our own homes by being transparent, accountable, and focused on the people it serves.

This site is here to give you clear information about who I am, what I stand for, and the practical steps we can take to move Hays County forward together.
