Sara Countryman
I am Sara Countryman, the former Mayor of the City of Montgomery. Having been Mayor for four years, I have promoted transparency, accountability, and conservative financial policies, skills that directly translate to county government.
As Mayor, I have assisted the city council and staff with:
- establishing an interest-bearing savings account for the city,
- the recruitment of a new Police Chief,
- facilitation of an operational audit of the Montgomery Police Department,
- the recruitment of a replacement City Administrator after the retirement of long-time Administrator Jack Yates,
- obtaining the city’s Trademark as the “Birthplace of the Texas Flag,”
- promoting the Texas flag by giving a flag to every new water account within the city limits of Montgomery,
- starting and approving a Comprehensive Plan for the City of Montgomery,
- participated in four city budget cycles, and
- passing the city’s first-ever 20% homestead exemption in 2021.
As a conservative Republican, I believe transparency and accountability are key to government by and for the people. I invite the input of not just community leaders, but all citizens into the process, and I plan to bring the same level of service and accountability to the County Judge’s office if elected as your next County Judge.
Family
In 2013, our family made the City of Montgomery our home with my husband Brad Countryman and my daughter Sloan. We fell in love with the hometown atmosphere and historic significance of the landmarks found in Montgomery County.
Private Sector Experience and Education
For the past 18 years, I have worked as a sales executive facilitating the sales of software, hardware, and integration products and services. By building strategic relationships at the executive, developer, and operations level, I have assisted key accounts in identifying new levels of software automation from imaging services to data storage centers, including software asset management services.
Before being elected as Mayor of the City of Montgomery, I also served two years as the President of the Buffalo Springs HOA.
After graduating high school in Round Rock, Texas, I followed my Dad’s alma mater to Sam Houston State University. I spent two years studying Criminal Justice before transferring back to Austin, Texas to attend Concordia University where I was recruited into the high-tech industry.
