It’s Wednesday March 4th. 

 It was on the tenth day of the siege on the Alamo in 1836 that James Butler Bonham returned to the fort with news of reinforcements...men that would never come.  It’s also been learned in recent history that James Bonham and William Barrett Travis were 2nd cousins.

Kendall County Voters showed up at the polls yesterday, more than 33% of registered voters with Elections Department officials citing a moderately heavy turnout for an off-year primary.  The race was close for County Judge where Ricky Gleason surged on election day and made-up ground but couldn’t catch Judge Shane Stolarezyk who led by 323 votes, however Shane secured 44% of the vote and in Texas you need 50% so we’re heading a runoff.  Besa Martin received almost 15% of that vote.  County Commissioner Andra Wisian finished ahead of Challenger J.C. Taylor by 9%age points but again she secured 47% so they too will be in runoff gear.   Early voting for those races begins May 18th, and election day is Tuesday May 26th.

In the State races in a very crowded District 21 for Congress Boerne’s Mike Wheeler came in 2nd in Kendall County to an overwhelming win overall going to Mark Teixeira with 61% of all the votes.  Advancing to a runoff for the Texas Attorney General Primary are Mayes Middleton with 39% and Chip Roy with 31% - voters in Kendall County gave Chip Roy 55% of our votes.

Congrats to all the candidates who ran a clean and friendly race…well…mostly.
