Llano County races
Llano County has some major contested races for Republican nominations at the county level on the March 3 ballot. Several races are uncontested and the runners will automatically secure their party’s nomination.
Two candidates are running for the party nomination for the office of Llano County judge and two for Llano County Precinct 4 commissioner. There are also two candidates running for Precinct 3 justice of the peace.
There are no Democratic challengers in most of the Llano County races, so the winners of the Republican nomination will almost certainly take office come 2027. There is a Democratic challenger in the Precinct 4 commissioner race, and the Republican nominee will face off against them in the General Election come November.
Contested races
Running for Llano County judge are Rob Hardy and Richard Kepp, who are both newcomers. Incumbent Llano County Judge Ron Cunningham is not running for reelection and plans on stepping down following the primary.
Running for Precinct 4 commissioner are incumbent commissioner Jerry Don Moss and challenger Robert Little.
