The Texas Secretary of State now reports five candidates running in the 2024 March Primary Election for Fisher County.
Sheriff Simon Wade, Commissioner Precinct 1 Gordon Pippin and County Tax Assessor Collector Jonnye Speck are all running unopposed.
Commissioner Precinct 3 Preston Martin will be in a race with newcomer Stuart Posey.
No one filed for county attorney.
All are running on the Republican ticket.
The Texas Secretary of State is not reporting any new candidates for Fisher County other than Gordon Pippin for commissioner precinct one and Jonnye Speck for tax collector-assessor at this time, but the appointment of campaign treasurer is a fair measure of who will run, and it looks like there is going to be a race for precinct three commissioner.
As of December 8, Stuart Posey has submitted an Appointment of Campaign Treasurer. A campaign treasurer must be named before a candidate files for office. Candidates are allowed to name themselves as campaign treasurer and it is common practice to do so. Appointment this close to the deadline for candidate filing would indicate intention to run for office.
The filing for Appointment of Campaign Treasurer in August by Damon Clawson, seeking the sheriff's seat, is not known to be a serious bid since it was filed so far back and there has been no mention of his intentions.
When the SOS clears all candidate filings, the Fisher County March 2024 Primary Election might make for an interesting race.
Candidates who wish to run for local offices have until December 11 to file for the March 2024 primary.
Positions being voted on are sheriff, commissioners for precincts one and three, county tax assessor collector and county attorney.
As of now only two positions have been filed for: precinct one commissioner by incumbent Gordon Pippin and county tax assessor collector by incumbent Jonnye Lu Speck.
Appointments for campaign treasurers have been made by five people: Sheriff Simon Wade, Commissioner Pippin, Tax Assessor Collector Speck, sheriff challenger Damon B Clawson, and Commissioner Preston Martin. If all five file for candidacy, the only position with a contest will be county sheriff.
There has been no candidate or treasurer filing for the position of county attorney, currently held by Michael Hall.
To file as a candidate, contact Fisher County Clerk Pat Thomson for forms and fees needed.
