2024 General Election

Nearly 65% of registered voters turned out for the 2024 November 5, Primary Election. Very few local elections were held, with a handful of judicial picks, constables, and commissioners listed on the ballot, with many other races being uncontested. Two larger races that affected our area, U.S. Representative District 1 and State Representative District 1 were both uncontested.

The county overwhelmingly supported Republican Candidates. No national, statewide, or local laws or propositions were voted on in this election cycle here in the County. As of when this newspaper was published, former President Republican Donald J. Trump defeated current Vice President Kamala Harris.

Senator Ted Cruz kept his senate seat against Colin Zachary Allred an American politician, civil rights lawyer, and former professional football player serving as the U.S. representative from Texas’s 32nd congressional district since 2019.

Cruz’s seat was one of many held by the Republicans along with gaining several more to take back the U.S. Senate.

Nathan Moran ran unopposed for U.S. Representative District 1. It looks promising to Republicans that they will retain control of the house, currently leading 214 to 203, needing 218 for victory.

State Representative District 1 Gary VanDeaver ran unopposed.

Republicans still retain both the State House and Senate.
