Todd Little Announces Re-Election Bid for Ellis County Judge
December 2021
Ellis County Judge Todd Little has announced his decision to seek re-election on the Republican ballot in 2022. Following his first successful term leading Ellis County, Judge Little stands ready to champion conservative values for four more years.
Todd is a 3rd generation Ellis County resident, husband, father of three, and serves as President of his family’s small business. He has served formerly as the Mayor of Red Oak and is currently serving as the Ellis County Judge.
After winning 70% of the popular vote in the November 2018 general election, Judge Little utilized his experience as a small business owner and former mayor to achieve the greatest outcomes for Ellis County while minimizing tax rates and local government overreach. Judge Little and Commissioners lowered the property tax rate for the third consecutive year for fiscal year 2022, while still meeting the needs of our growing Ellis County community.
Judge Little strongly believes in openness and transparency in government.
Shortly after becoming County Judge, he opened the doors of the beautiful Ellis County Historic Courthouse to the public so that all citizens could freely participate in Commissioners’ Court meetings.
Judge Little also authored Commissioners’ Court resolutions to protect the right to carry for all Texans, and to make Ellis County a sanctuary for the unborn.
During the pandemic, Judge Little refused to impose mask and vaccine mandates while focusing on initiatives for early detection and therapeutics that would keep all citizens safe. He then worked with partners to establish the Ellis County Vaccine Hub and the Monoclonal Antibody(Regeneron) Infusion Center.
To stimulate the local economy, he championed the “Open Texas'' initiative while then creating the Ellis County Economic Recovery Task Force. This included seeking recommendations from small businesses, nonprofits and medical practitioners for ideas to keep their employees and customers safe.
In his second term, Judge Little promises to support pro-life initiatives, budget transparency, and private property rights. He will continue to work with various partners to analyze Ellis County’s future facilities needs and services, implement technology solutions and fully support public safety officers and first responders. Judge Little, when re-elected, is committed to advocate for policies that balance economic growth with the rural, tight-knit environment that Ellis County citizens cherish.
Judge Little lives in Red Oak with his wife Dawn, a registered nurse, where they raised their three children - Tanner, Houston, and Stefani. As a lifelong Ellis County resident, small-business owner, and a servant-leader in his community, Judge Little is truly a man of the people. Judge Little will always call Ellis County “home” and considers it one of his highest honors to serve as the Ellis County Judge.
“Win Big: Vote Little.”
