Several contested races set for March

A number of candidates have filed for the upcoming March 2024 Republican Party primary. 

The most contested race is for Precinct 2 Constable, a post which has been held by Charlie West for three terms. West elected to not seek re-election. 

Seeking that post will be Amanda Duncan, Carlton Scott, Candice Staton, and Richard “Doug” Veach. 

A contested race is also set up in the Precinct 1 Constable spot where incumbent Oscar Lopez will face off against Zack Burks. 

The District Attorney spot will also be on the ballot and appears to be an interesting race between current Cameron Police Chief Lonnie Gosch and First Assistant District Attorney Brian Price. 

Incumbents seeking re-election and that are unopposed are Precinct 1 Commissioner Henry Hubnik, Precinct 3 Commissioner Art Neal, Precinct 4 Constable Kirby Shoemake, Sheriff Mike Clore, and District Judge John Youngblood.

At this time no Democrats have filed for the primary election.

Early voting will begin in February.
