Incumbent Pct. 4 Commissioner Jerry Don Moss has held his seat since 2007. He won the Republican nomination in the party’s March 2026 primary after defeating his opponent Robert Little in a landslide victory, securing 90.78 percent of the vote.
Democratic challenger Leila Green Little ran unopposed in her party’s primary, securing a spot in the Nov. 3 midterm election.
Robert and Leila Little are husband and wife, and they filed for the same seat in different political parties. According to the Littles, they both filed on platforms of change and to specifically challenge Moss’ long time leadership.
The Littles are connected to Moss through the Llano County Library System lawsuit, which saw Leila as a leading plaintiff in a First Amendment lawsuit against the county and some of its leadership, including Moss as a named defendant.
“I am not pleased with how the county has addressed the library system for the last four years,” Leila Little told DailyTrib after she filed for the Precinct 4 commissioner seat. “This is a principled stance. I have learned a great deal about what the county government does and does not do. Most importantly, I am interested and eager to learn.”
According to Moss, he was well aware of the Littles’ intentions, but he sees his sound victory in the Republican primary as a sign that his constituents are on his side.
“It’s good to know that people support what I do,” Moss told DailyTrib following his nomination in March. “We’re just going to continue working as usual and we’ll cross that bridge (of the Nov. 3 General Election) when we get there.”
