State Senator District 9 election on November 4th2025, Which is the Dallas-Ft Worth Area

State Senators are members of the state's upper chamber, as part of the state's bicameral legislature. State senators are responsible for voting on: bills related to public policy matters, levels for state spending, raises or decreases in taxes, and whether to uphold or override gubernatorial vetoes. Three candidates, two Republicans and one Democrat, are vying for an open state Senate seat in North Texas. The three candidates who have announced their intention to run for the seat are

REPUBLICANS

John Huffman – Republican – https://www.johnhuffman.com/about-4He was born in and lives in Texas. His career experience includes working as a small business owner and as an attorney. Huffman was elected to the city council and became mayor of Southlake, Texas.

Leigh Wambsganss – Republican - https://leighfortexas.com/ Leigh Wambsganss (womz-gonz) is the proven conservative MAGA Republican candidate for Texas Senate District 9. A fighter with over 30 years of grassroots leadership, standing up for Texas families, defending constitutional liberties, and holding government accountable, Leigh is the conservative Republican choice.

DEMOCRAT

Taylor Rehmet - Democrat – His web site state: https://www.taylorfortx.com/ “Texas Senate District 9 is more competitive than ever, and ready to flip. In recent local elections, Fort Worth voters sent a clear message: they’re done with MAGA extremism. As Donald Trump’s unpopular policies continue to dominate the headlines.” I assume this means he supports the Democrats in the fight for illegal aliens who are criminals, rapist, murderers, drug dealers, pedophiles, and sex traffickers.

Many ask what a county Judge is.

The county judge is the most visible official in county government. Often thought of as the county’s chief executive officer, a county judge has broad judicial and administrative powers, including serving as the presiding officer of the county’s policy-making body, the Commissioners' Court. County judges are elected on a countywide basis for four years.

So, what is the Commissioners’ Court?

Commissioners' courts are the governing bodies of Texas counties, akin to county councils or boards of supervisors in other states. The county commissioners court conducts the general business of the county, including adopting the county’s budget and tax rate, authorizing contracts, filling vacancies, and setting salaries of county employees.

Each commissioners court in Texas has five members: the county judge and four commissioners. The commissioners' court fulfills a mix of legislative and executive functions, and the judge may fulfill judicial functions. Despite the name, Commissioners Courts do not have judicial powers. The County Judge, while presiding at the Commissioners Court, does not render judicial rulings.

County commissioners are elected in local precinct elections and each serve a four-year term. Since each county in Texas has four precincts, each commissioner represents approximately one-fourth of the county's population, although the exact population distribution can vary slightly depending on how the precincts are drawn. Elections are staggered so that the entire commissioners court cannot change in a single election. Instead, two commissioner seats are up for election every two years.
