 The Republican and Democratic primaries were held last Tuesday, March 3. With several Hartley County officials deciding to retire and not seek reelection this time around, and with no one filing to run in the Democratic Primary, the winners in the Republican Primary have basically won since they will have no opposition in the general election, and will take over those offices in January. (All vote totals for Hartley County and Dallam County are considered unofficial until officially canvassed.) 

Camilla Green was elected Hartley County Judge with 637 votes, while Shellie McNabb received 286 votes. Libby Caviness- Flanery was elected Hartley County Treasurer with 459 votes and Timbra Morris received 379 votes. Kristy Detwiler was elected Hartley Country Justice of the Peace with 536 votes while Gary Messer received 364 votes.

Rep. Ronny Jackson announces provisions, amendments to farm bill

 WASHINGTON — Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) announced on March 5 that he championed Texas’ agriculture priorities during the House Committee on Agriculture’s markup of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 — commonly known as the Farm Bill. The 2026 Farm Bill ensures agriculture producers have the tools necessary to face the challenges of the modern agricultural industry. 

“As the Representative for the number one agriculture district in Texas, I know firsthand that an updated Farm Bill is long overdue,” said Jackson. “Our farmers and ranchers in TX-13 work tirelessly to feed and fuel this nation, and they deserve policies that provide them the certainty needed to remain in operation for generations to come. I’m proud to have secured key wins for our district and for the agriculture industry as a whole, and I look forward to getting this Farm Bill across the finish line and signed into law.”
