Democrats huddled to renominate a candidate they chose too early, while Republicans are still finalizing plans to sort through a large field.
Marialyn Barnard, the interim Pct. 3 county commissioner, is among a number of interested Republicans hoping to be selected as the party's candidate for the open Commissioners Court seat in November.Months after Trish DeBerry’s last-minute decision to run for county judge, Democrats and Republicans are scrambling to ensure they’ll each have a candidate for her Precinct 3 seat on the ballot in November.
Texas law says that in the case of last-minute withdrawals of incumbents or candidates for office — an issue that’s been exacerbated across the state this year by redistricting — party officials choose the candidate. DeBerry, elected in 2020 to a four-year term on the Commissioners Court, was required to resign her commissioners seat when she sought the judge’s office.
Texas law says the candidate must be selected by the precinct chairs elected in the year of the opening. Those chairs were not seated until this month after the May primary runoff, meaning Korbel had to be nominated a second time.
