Williamson County Precinct 3 Commissioner
Williamson County Commissioner Valerie Covey was first elected to the Precinct 3 seat in 2006 to fill an unexpired term. She was re-elected in 2008 and again in 2012. Challenger Anthony Rector is a victim services coordinator with the Georgetown Police Department. In a Q&A with Community Impact Newspaper, Rector said his first order of business as commissioner would be to work for living wages for the employees of Williamson County, add more services for veterans, and better the working relationship with the local government. If re-elected, Covey said her first order of business would be to continue to address the county’s growth by working on road bond projects that are currently in progress, such as intersection improvements at D.B. Wood and Hwy. 29, bridge improvements at Ronald Reagan/I-35 and CR 305/I-35 and the widening of Inner Loop from Churchill Farms to Maple Street.U.S. House District 31
