Republican candidate Valerie Stephen will officially face off against Democratic candidate Marycruz Serrano in the November 5 General Election in the office of Erath County Tax Assessor-Collector.
In the May 28 Republican Primary runoff, Stephen received 850 votes (50.57%) while Niki McInroe-Cogburn received 831 votes (49.43%). There were 45 undervotes. Undervotes are done when eligible voters choose not to cast a vote in that race or accidentally do not cast a vote correctly.
Also on the ballot was a runoff between Sherman L. Edwards and Ben Clements for Precinct 3 County Commissioner.
In the race, Edwards was declared the winner with 514 votes (69.65%), while Clements received 224 votes (30.35%). There is no Democratic nominee in this race, so Edwards will take office in January 2025.
All results remain unofficial until canvassed by the county.
The next election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 5 and will include the presidential, state and county ballots.
