In 1893, Garner entered politics, running for county judge of [[Uvalde County]], the county's chief administrative officer. Garner was opposed in the primary by a woman—[[Mariette Rheiner Garner]], a rancher's daughter, whom, after the election, he courted and married in 1895. Garner won, and with the Democratic nomination seen as tantamount to election in the post-Civil War [[Solid South]], was elected county judge and served until 1896.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GARNER, John Nance {{!}} US House of Representatives: History, Art & Archives |url=https://history.house.gov/People/Listing/G/GARNER,-John-Nance-(G000074)/ |access-date=2023-01-22 |website=history.house.gov |language=en}}</ref><ref name=Neal>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3hILWuZPjd8C|title=Happy Days are Here Again: The 1932 Democratic Convention, the Emergence of FDR - and How America Was Changed Forever|first=Steve|last=Neal|date=July 6, 2004 |isbn=0-06-001376-1|page=83|publisher=Harper Collins |accessdate=January 13, 2023}}</ref>
