State assistant prosecutor enters race for 33rd/424th district attorney’s spot

BURNET — The race for the Republican nomination for the 33rd/424th District Attorney’s seat grew to three after state Assistant Attorney General Steven Todd announced Dec. 13 that he also is running.
He faces contenders Wiley B. “Sonny” McAfee Jr. and former 33rd/424th Assistant District Attorney Angela Dowdle in the hunt to replace Sam Oatman, who decided not to run again after 25 years in office.
“I moved my family to this area in 2000 and I love this community,” said Todd, a prosecutor in the state Attorney General’s Office.
