A Proven, Conservative Leader
for Lubbock County.

Trey Newton is a lifelong Republican with decades of experience in Texas government and public policy. He is running for Lubbock County Commissioner, Precinct 2, to deliver responsible spending, efficient county services, and conservative leadership focused on results - not politics.

Meet Trey Newton.

Trey Newton’s story begins in Texas, where his family’s deep roots and commitment to public service shaped his values from an early age. Raised in a household dedicated to civic engagement and Republican politics, Trey learned the importance of community involvement and leadership. His father, Norman Newton, was a founder of the Associated Republicans of Texas and served as Executive Director for three decades, helping guide the state’s political transformation.

Trey’s connection to Lubbock County is personal and enduring. He met his wife in high school, and both attended Texas Tech University, a cornerstone of the Lubbock community. Trey’s wife graduated from Tech Law School, and their family’s ties to the community remain strong. Their oldest son recently earned a master’s degree in physics from Texas Tech, and their youngest son, a Freshman at Tech, recently put his college career on hold and enlisted in the United States Army to serve our nation

Throughout his career, Trey has served in key roles within Texas state government. He began by managing the House Energy Resources Committee in the State Legislature, gaining firsthand experience with the state’s vital oil and gas industry. He later served as Chief of Staff for the Chairman of the Texas Railroad Commission, overseeing regulatory matters for the energy sector. As Special Assistant and Chief of Staff to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, which managed the state’s finances, including tax collection, purchasing, the state treasurer and setting the state budget, Trey had a front row seat to multi-billion dollar budgets, revenue forecasting, contracting, procurement and other critical state functions.

As Special Assistant and later Chief of State to the then newly elected Carole Keeton Rylander, Trey assisted in implementing her vision of government efficiency and modernizations.  Part of these efforts included more than 70 School Performance Reviews, identifying waste and recommending cost-saving measures for school districts, and the e-Texas Initiative, a plan to modernize state government through technology and efficiency reforms, which led to significant taxpayer savings and expanded online services.

As Deputy Texas Land Commissioner, Trey managed the Texas General Land Office, overseeing state lands, supporting veteran programs, and monitoring the management of over 3,400 miles of Texas coastline.

In addition to his public service, Trey co-owns GuidePost Strategic Partners, helping conservative Republicans run for office. He co-founded the Hispanic Republicans of Texas in 2009, contributing to the election of five Conservative Hispanic Republicans to the State Legislature in their first year.  Since that time, HRT has assisted over 200 candidates across Texas in running for public office. Trey Newton’s life and career reflect a commitment to Texas, to Lubbock County, and to the values of service and leadership that have guided him from childhood through decades of public service.

Trey’s Priorities Are:

  • Fiscal Responsibility & Taxpayer Protection
    There is no such thing as the “government’s money” – it is the taxpayer’s money. Trey believes the government should live within its means and be good stewards of the taxpayer’s money. We need transparent budgets, accountability, and efforts to find efficiencies to fight wasteful spending.

  • Efficient, Accountable County Government
    With decades of experience both inside and outside of government, Trey knows how state and local entities should operate. He will focus on efficiency and accountability, ensuring Lubbock County delivers real value without wasteful spending.

  • Public Safety & Infrastructure
    Safe communities and reliable roads are core responsibilities of the Lubbock County Commissioner’s Court. Trey supports responsible investment in law enforcement, emergency services, and infrastructure that supports growth without wasting taxpayer dollars.

  • Local Control & Conservative Values
    Trey believes decisions affecting Lubbock County should be made locally. He will stand firm for conservative principles, individual responsibility, and practical solutions.
