Following Super Tuesday on March 5, the primary election’s final unofficial results are in for county and statewide seats.
Coryell County’s ballot featured only two races in the Republican primary - Coryell County Sheriff and Constable Precinct 1. Since no Democrats filed to run as opponents to Republican candidates in the county, winners will run unopposed in November.
Sheriff
Incumbent Sheriff Scott Williams appears to have won the re-election for his seat against his two opponents, Danni Suniga and John JC Buster.
Williams leads by 50.54% with a total of 3,005 votes. He needed to earn 50% plus one vote to avoid a runoff election.
Buster came in second to Williams with 31.53% or 1,875 of the votes. Suniga received 17.93% or 1,066 of the votes.
Williams was first elected in 2016 and will head into his third term as Coryell County Sheriff.
Constable Precinct 1
The incumbent for Constable Precinct 1, Guy Beveridge, won the majority of votes in the preliminary primary results against his opponent Robert Taylor.
Beveridge received 781 or 62.28% of the votes. Tayor followed with 473 or 37.72% of the votes.
Beveridge was first elected as Constable Precinct 1 for Coryell County in 2013.
Several county seats ran unopposed and were re-elected in the Republican primary, including District Attorney Dusty Boyd, County Attorney Brandon Belt, County Commissioners Kyle Matthews and Ryan Basham, and County Chair Colton Buckley.
Just over 14% of Coryell County’s 44,658 registered voters cast ballots during the election.
