Commissioners select four finalists for county judge interviews; special meeting set for March 27
Summary
After accepting application materials, the Williamson County Commissioners selected four finalists—Andrew Webb, Steve Snell, Matt Powell and Elvis L.ossa (spelling clarified as 'Lossa')—for interview; the court scheduled interviews for a special called meeting starting March 27 at 2:30 p.m.
The Williamson County Commissioners on March 25 announced four finalists to be interviewed for the county judge vacancy and scheduled a special-called meeting for Thursday, March 27, beginning at 2:30 p.m.
The court solicited cover letters and resumes from interested individuals and asked each commissioner to submit up to three names. After collating unique nominations, the court listed four people to be interviewed: Andrew Webb, Steve Snell, Matt Powell and Elvis Lossa (court later corrected spelling to Lossa during the post-executive-session record). The court said the names were not discussed jointly before submission and that commissioners had independently reached out to candidates and references as they saw fit.
Presiding officers and staff said interviews would be conducted uniformly: each finalist will be asked the same set of questions, HR and legal staff will be present, and commissioners can propose edits to the question list before Thursday’s meeting. Commissioners discussed allowing time to check references and make follow-up calls between now and the interviews; at least one commissioner said they had already contacted references for some candidates.
The court voted unanimously to move the four names forward for interviews; commissioners indicated they will allot roughly 45–60 minutes per candidate and plan short breaks between interviews. The court did not select a successor at the March 25 meeting; it only set the interview schedule and approved the candidate list.
