Election results for Liberty County

Liberty County will have a new district attorney next January. Jennifer Bergman had a decisive win over incumbent Logan Pickett. David Whitmire also handily won the race for Pct. 3 commissioner against incumbent James “Boo” Reaves by capturing 69 percent of the votes. Whitmire still faces Democratic challenger Barbara McIntyre in November’s general election.

Pct. 4 Constable Robby Thornton won reelection by garnering 72 percent of all votes cast in that race.

Bruce Karbowski, the incumbent Pct. 1 commissioner, faces a runoff against challenger Toby Wilburn. The winner will face Democrat Ron Blake in the general election this November.

In the race for County Court at Law No. 2, there will be a runoff election between Zack Zbranek and Wes Hinch.

A runoff election will also apply to Pct. 1 constable, where the frontrunner is Tammy Bishop. The second position on the ballot is too close to call at this time. It will either be Jacob Cantu or Bill Griffin. Cantu is ahead of Griffin by two votes, which may change after provisional ballots are reviewed and counted in the coming days. The winner of this race still faces the Democratic challenger Martin Trahan in November.

In the race for Pct. 6 constable, the runoff will be between Zack Harkness and John Joslin. Neither candidate had 50 percent of the votes to avoid a runoff.
