Early voting begins Monday, February 14, in Texas Republican and Democratic Primaries, and the Donley County Republican Party will host a Meet & Greet with the GOP candidates on this Thursday, February 10, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Bairfield Activity Center.
Voters of both parties can cast early ballots at the Donley County Courthouse Annex. County Clerk Vicky Tunnell reminds everyone that voter’s registration cards have not gone out but says voters do need to bring their driver’s license or other form of identification with them to vote.
The county positions up this year are all being sought by Republicans, and only two races are contested.
Three Republicans are running to be Justice of the Peace of Precincts 1 & 2 – Sarah Hatley, Connie Lane, and Kristen Taylor. Ashley Savage is also on the ballot but said last week that she had withdrawn as a candidate.
The JP office is currently vacant after Judge Pam Mason resigned her office in December.
The other local competitive race on this year’s Republican ballot will be Precinct 4 Commissioner Dan Sawyer, who is being challenged by Brad Dalton.
Other local positions are uncontested, and those candidates are Judge John Howard, Treasurer Wanda Smith, Clerk Vicky Tunnell, Precinct 2 Commissioner Daniel Ford, and Precinct 3 & 4 Justice of the Peace Pat White.
Former Donley County deputy Randy Bond is also running for Constable of Precincts 3&4, a position that is currently vacant.
Early voting will continue through February 25. Election Day will be March 1.
