Christian Jude Remington is the founder, editor, and publisher of Collin County Journal. He studies political science at Texas Tech University and is building a career in journalism, public service, law, and government.
He launched CCJ after seeing residents across Collin County left to piece together major local decisions through rumors, partial social media posts, and difficult public documents. The publication was created to give readers clearer access to city government, public records, elections, development, infrastructure, and the decisions shaping daily life.
His reporting focuses on source documents, public meetings, candidate interviews, budgets, contracts, land-use cases, and the practical effects of public policy. He works to explain complicated civic issues in plain language while keeping the facts, costs, stakes, and consequences in view.
Christian is also a former Washington, D.C. policy intern, with experience working around the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, and federal policy institutions. That experience strengthened his interest in how government power, law, media, and public accountability shape the lives of ordinary people.
His long-term goal is to build institutions that help people understand the systems affecting their lives and give ordinary residents a stronger voice in public decisions. He believes local journalism should be serious, useful, direct, and close enough to the community to know what people are actually living through.
Christian was born in Iraq and came to the United States legally as a child. He has lived in Texas ever since. His background shaped his interest in government, law, institutional responsibility, and the importance of building systems that protect people rather than leaving them confused, powerless, or unheard.
His work is grounded in faith, discipline, public service, and a simple commitment: to serve the people.
