BURNET — A three-way race for the Burnet County judge Republican nomination is now down to two after the March 4 primaries.
Former Burnet County Commissioner James Oakley will face current Marble Falls Mayor George Russell in a future runoff after they were the top two vote getters in the race for the Republican nomination.
Oakley earned the most votes with 2,816 followed by Russell with 1,709. Former Burnet County Republican chair Linda Rogers finished third with 1,385 votes.
Since none of the candidates ended up with more than 50 percent of the votes, the top two head for a runoff. Oakley managed 47.6 percent.
According to the Burnet County Elections Office, the runoff is May 27.
