At the moment I do not know who might run in that primary, or who might run in the Democratic Primary.
We have heard some rumors that our horrible county judge Tim O'Hare is considering a run for AG. Now I do not know if he is an attorney or not. He is a right bastard though. However if he does step down in order to run for the AG job, we have a decent shot at getting an improvement on our Commissioners Court, Democrat or Republican. Several names have been floated but nothing definite.
The most immediate problem is O'Hare himself. He is a mean sumbitch who runs the court like it is his personal kingdom, and has scheduled a redistricting of the Commissioners' precincts in the middle of the decade. It was determined in 2021after the census that the proportions of our districts were as they should be so no changes were ordered in the map.
He has hired a law firm to do the map; the law firm is a MAGA group and will do what he wants: redraw it enough to ensure the incumbent Democrat in Precinct 2 can't win the next election. O'Hare has a grudge against this Commissioner anyway and the plan is to rig the map so that no Democrat can win those two seats.
