Runoff needed for 2 Montgomery County races

Two Montgomery County races are headed for a runoff election after there was no clear nominee following the March 4 primary election.

The race for Montgomery County judge will feature a runoff for the Republican nominee between Mark Bosma, the county's director of infrastructure, and current Precinct 2 Commissioner Craig Doyal.

There will also be a runoff election for the Montgomery County Precinct 2 commissioner seat, which will feature Rob Harmon and Charlie Riley.

After the March 4 primary election, Bosma received 43.64 percent of the vote to Doyal's 43.39 percent with all 89 precincts reporting. Doris Golemon, the third candidate vying for the nomination, received 12.97 percent of the vote.

In the Republican primary for Precinct 2 commissioner, Harmon tallied 43.48 percent of the vote to Riley's 39.95 percent. Ricky Rickett, the third candidate vying for the nomination, finished with 16.57 percent of the vote.

The winner of both runoffs will run unopposed in the November general election as there is no challenger from the Democratic Party.

Early voting for the primary runoff election will be May 19–23 and Election Day is May 27.
