Monday marked the final day to file for Federal, State, and County offices to be decided in the March 2024 Primaries.
In Navarro County, three county positions have been contested. Within the first day of filing, all incumbents submitted their paperwork to Navarro County Republican Party chairman Steven Jessup. Within the last month of filing, two county offices have been contested – Navarro County Sheriff and Navarro County Tax Assessor/Collector.
Sheriff Elmer Tanner was first in line to sign his paperwork on November 11th, followed by Navarro County Commissioners Eddie Moore and Jason Grant, Constables Dan Williams, Mike Davis, and Kipp Thomas, Navarro and County Tax Assessor/Collector Mike Dowd. Constable Bobby Rachel filed his paperwork the following week.
As previously reported in the NavCo Chronicle, former Corsicana Police Officer and former NCSO deputy Steven Travis will challenge Sheriff Tanner and truck driver Johnny Crawford will take on Mike Dowd in the March primary.
On the state level, 13th District Judge James Lagomarsino filed his papers with the Texas Republican Party in Austin , as did his opponent – Joseph Aguilar, a Waxahatchie attorney who resides in Navarro County.
Navarro County Court at Law Judge Amanda Putman will not have an opponent.
District 8 State Representative Cody Harris is being challenged by fellow Palestine citizen, Jaye Curtis.
District 13 State Representative (R-Itasca) is unchallenged in the primary.
Corsicana ISD history teacher Cliff Wylie joins James Buford in their bid for United States Congressman Jake Ellzey’s seat in DC.
In Freestone County only one seat has a contested race – the race for Constable Precinct 2. Incumbent Dan Ramsey is being challenged by Jake Fitch, who currently serves as a Teague Police Officer.
This election season should be an interesting one for both counties!
