Erath County gets new county judge, treasurer

City of Stephenville Mayor Pro Tem Brandon Huckabee can soon be addressed as county judge.

Huckabee garnered 3,523 votes to current Erath County Judge Alfonso Campos' 2,367 votes, according to unofficial results from Tuesday's primary election. No Democratic candidates filed to run for the position.

"Thank you to every single voter that turned up to vote in Erath County! We did it!! Thank you to everyone who supported us during this campaign," reads a social media post by Huckabee. "We can’t wait to represent you and bring a more accountable, transparent and representative government to Erath County!"

In another closely contested county race, Angie Shawver defeated incumbent Kimberly Dowell Barrier to become the new Erath County treasurer.

Shawver garnered 2,832 votes (157 more than 50%) to Barrier's 2,518, according to unofficial results from the county.

Overall, 6,423 Erath County voters cast ballots in Tuesday's primary election. That is 26.38% of the county's total number of registered voters of 24,352.

Of the total votes, 167 people voted absentee; 2,660 took advantage of early voting; and 3,596 cast their ballots on election day.

If a candidate has not received a majority of the vote (more than 50%) in the primary, the top two vote-getters compete in a runoff May 24.
