By Carla McKeown/Breckenridge Texan
The Stephens County Commissioners Court will continue to look the same, after the two incumbents, David Fambro in Precinct 1 and Will Warren in Precinct 3, were re-elected over the two write-in candidates in today’s election.
In Precinct 1, Fambro garnered 715 of the total votes, with write-in candidate Chad Jones getting 137 votes.
In Precinct 3, Warren received 531 votes, while write-in candidate Houston Satterwhite had 123 votes.
Those were the only two contested local races.
Also on the ballot, but unopposed, were incumbents:
- Sheriff Kevin Roach, 3,379 votes;
- County Attorney Gary Trammel, 3,240 votes;
- County Treasurer Kelsey Cornwall, 3,265 votes;
- County Constable Wayne McMullen, 3,210 votes.
Also running unopposed was Crystal Shook, who received 3,275 votes for the County Tax Assessor-Collector office.
The 90th Judicial District Judge, Phillip Gregory, who ran unopposed, was re-elected with 3,231 votes in Stephens County and a total of 10,600 in the district; and, the 90th Judicial District Attorney Dee Peavy, who also ran unopposed, was re-elected with 3,225 votes in Stephens County and a total of 10.578 in the district.
Stephens County residents living outside the city limits of Breckenridge had an opportunity to vote on a proposed sales tax for a designated special district created for the proposed tax. By a margin of almost 2-to-1, the voters rejected the proposed tax. There were 1,207 votes against the tax and 612 votes for it. Click here to read a previous article about the tax.
