This is neither here nor there, but I’m curious what an “elected executive whose role is akin to that of a mayor” actually means

She’s the county judge. It’s an elected position that exists for all Texas counties, but it’s at the head of a commission that votes on decisions so it’s not quite like a mayor. It has nothing to do with court judging, which is confusing outside of Texas and probably why WSJ skipped it.
