According to unofficial early voting results, Jana Duty has won the race for Williamson County District Attorney over opponent Ken Crain. Duty has tallied 88,197 votes over Crain's 60,842.

Duty gave a victory speech at the Williamson County Republicans' watch party, which was held Nov. 6 at the Wingate Inn in Round Rock. She thanked her family, friends and supporters and said she is excited to take the reins as district attorney.

"Thank you for once again blessing me with this gift to get to serve you," Duty said. "I will serve you well. I will do a good job for you."

Duty, formerly the county attorney, beat out incumbent John Bradley in the primary election earlier this year to win the Republican nomination. Crain is an attorney in Georgetown.

The race rode heavily on accusations of misconduct with the district attorney's office's handling of the Michael Morton case. Morton was released a year ago after DNA evidence exonerated him from the wrongful conviction in his wife's murder. Morton spent approximately 25 years in prison for the crime.

During the primary, Duty reminded voters that Bradley fought against testing the bandana that would later free Morton and called out Bradley's "good old boy politics" and approaches to handling county crime.

"I believe the people of Williamson County deserve a district attorney with a proven record of prosecuting criminals and keeping our community safe," she said in an email interview with Community Impact Newspaper in September.

Duty herself was reprimanded by the Texas State Bar in 2011 for using confidential information she learned in a Williamson County Commissioners Court executive session to attempt to file a lawsuit to remove County Judge Dan Gattis from office. The bar dismissed 23 other complaints filed by the commissioners against Duty.

During his campaign, Crain criticized Duty's past conflicts with county officials and legal counsel and said electing Duty would cause the DA's office to be "dysfunctional." He has called for new perspective and leadership.

"The ironic thing about this race is that my opponent, Jana Duty, who is a Republican, has a long history of creating conflicts with other local elected officials who are also Republicans," Crain's campaign website said. "The problems in the DA's office will require the leadership of a reformer, someone who hasn't been part of the broken system that has made our streets less safe, sent innocent people to prison and sought to suppress and cover up past prosecutorial misconduct."

All results are unofficial until canvassed.
