Denton County Commissioners Court

Behind by fewer than 100 votes all evening, David Wylie narrowly secured the win in the Republican primary runoff for Denton County Precinct 4 commissioner on Tuesday, defeating Valerie Roehrs by just 31 votes as the GOP choice to replace incumbent Dianne Edmonson on the Nov. 3 ballot.

Valerie Roehrs and David Wylie are in a heated runoff for the Republican nomination for Denton County Precinct 4 commissioner, as shown by the latest round of campaign finance reports and claims and questions about the candidates.

Endorsed by Gov. Greg Abbott in her bid for a third term, Edmondson now finds herself facing three Republican opponents in the March 3 primary: Gerard Hudspeth, the current Denton mayor; Valerie Roehrs, a former corporate executive turned rancher; and David Wylie, a Denton County GOP precinct chair, election judge and committee member of the state Republican Party.
