Wharton County Precinct 3 voters re-elected Steven Goetsch as commissioner in the May Republican Primary. Goetsch will serve his final term starting in January, as no Democrat is challenging in November. Goetsch, now 75, plans to retire after this term.
About 20% of registered voters turned out. Confusion over election dates impacted turnout, but Goetsch felt well-supported by the community.
