Sen. Springer won’t run for SB-30, Congressman Pat Fallon files for that race
National, state and county party primary filing began on Nov. 11 and will continue through Dec. 11.
Party primary elections will take place in March 2024 and those winners will then face off in the November general election.
The following county positions will be up for election in 2024: 97th District Judge and District Attorney, county attorney, sheriff, precincts one and three county commissioners, precincts one and two constables, county tax assessor and Democratic Party Chair.
Mark Neese is chairman of the county Republican Party and there is no organized Democratic Party with a chairman. Those wishing to run in the Republican primaries file with Neese and those wishing to run ad Democrats file with the state party.
As filing opened Saturday there already was a big shake-up at the state level where longtime north Texas leader Drew Springer announced he would not run for the District 30 Texas Senate seat and Pat Fallon said he would give up his congressional seat to run for his old Texas Senate post.

Montague County Commissioners had a short meeting Monday.
After installing some new filing systems in the district clerk’s offices, the county appears to have an overflow of filing cabinets. Thanks in part to electronic recording of many records and the mechanized filing in the district clerk’s office, the need for metal filing cabinets has waned.
Commissioner Mark Murphey, who also runs an auction company, said you can barely give them away nowadays, while Commissioner Mike Mayfield said they may make more by salvaging them to a metal recycler. Commissioner Roy Darden said it would probably cost more to advertise an auction than what they could make on selling them.
County Auditor Jennifer Essary said they can auction, salvage or take sealed bids for the items. Commissioners decided to scrap them, but be open to anyone picking up any as they load them up for salvage.

The sealed cases include charges of possession of a controlled substance 4-200 grams and tampering with an electronic monitoring device.
