Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins won re-election to his seat with all Dallas County precincts reporting in the Nov. 8 general election. He received 62.54% of the ballots cast to defeat Republican candidate Lauren Davis, who garnered 37.46% of the votes in the county.

“For those of you who voted for my opponent, or chose not to vote at all in this election... I want you to know that I'm as committed to serving you and representing you [as for] my most ardent supporter,” Jenkins said during a Nov. press conference.

Once all the ballots were tallied, Jenkins received 386,089 votes. Davis received 231,253 total votes.

“I will not focus on the negative or focus on the past," Jenkins said. "Rather, I will focus on doing my best to lead with fairness, compassion and as much grace as I can. For all, it's an honor to represent the people of Dallas County."
