The McLennan County Precinct 2 seat has been held by a democrat for the last three decades - the only one on the five-seat Commissioners Court.
Republican DL Wilson has run for this seat twice before, and until the final numbers came in, Wilson and his democratic opponent were neck and neck.
"Well it was really, really tough," Wilson said.
He said that while he understands the history in this precinct, party affiliation doesn’t really matter at the county level. He plans to represent constituents regardless of their party affiliation.
"This job is not for a Democrat or a Republican, it’s for a good person in
precinct two that wants to get everybody’s problems worked on,” he said.
Wilson said he will focus on road maintenance in the precinct, one of the main jobs for County Commissioners.
