COMMISSIONER BULLOCK ENDORSES CHISOLM IN RUN-OFF

  

Washington County Precinct 2 Commissioner Candice Bullock has made her decision on who should take her place.

On Thursday, Commissioner Bullock endorsed businessman Jim Chisolm in the May 26 runoff to succeed her.

In a statement, Bullock said that she felt that Chisolm is the individual best prepared to serve Precinct 2.

She cited his business acumen, management experience, and proven ability to seek creative solutions, which she feels will serve local residents well.

Bullock went on to say that she worked closely with Chisolm on the Texas Department of Transportation’s proposed changes at Highway 290 and FM 1155, as well as his efforts to strengthen the business community, and plan for the future of the area.

After Bullock announced that she was not seeking another term, a four-person primary was held on March 3. Chisolm was the top vote getter with 664 votes, while Schonefeld was in second place with 523 votes.

Since neither of the candidates got a 50% majority, they are having a run-off to decide, who will be the new Washington County Precinct Two Commissioner.

Early voting runs May 18–22. Election Day is Tuesday, May 26th.
