It’s election season. Here’s who filed for state, county races in Fort Worth area
Editor’s Note: This story was updated throughout on Jan. 2 to reflect additional candidates seeking election in the March 2022 Republican and Democratic primaries.
The official start of election season is here. Candidate filing for the 2022 Republican and Democratic primaries starts on Nov. 13 and runs through Dec. 13.
With newly drawn House, Senate and congressional districts, the Tarrant County area could see new names and the shuffling of old on primary ballots. The March 1 primary will feature a slate of statewide candidates, including gubernatorial contenders and what’s expected to be a crowded race for Texas attorney general.
Locally, Tarrant County residents will pick Precinct 2 and 4 commissioners. With County Judge Glen Whitley and Tarrant County District Attorney Sharen Wilson not seeking reelection, they’ll also select new officials for two of the county’s top roles.
Here’s everyone who has filed in Tarrant County thus far. This article will be updated periodically over the course of the filing period.
