FORT BEND COUNTY, TX (Covering Katy News) – There is a long list of candidates running for office in Fort Bend County but not in Precinct 1. The Fort Bend County Commissioner and Constable representing the Katy–Fulshear area will be unopposed in their primary and general election, meaning they will each serve another four-year term.
Precinct 1 Commissioner Vincent Morales and Precinct 1 Constable Chad Norvell, both Republicans, did not draw opponents in their primary, and no candidate filed to run in the Democratic primary.
“I want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who has supported me in these last two years since Precinct 1 was redistricted into our new boundaries,” Commissioner Vincent Morales posted on Facebook. “Every single relationship and new friendship we have built in the community has been crucial to our early success in serving our citizens.”
Democratic County Attorney Bridgette Smith-Lawson will also serve another four years as she did not draw an opponent in her party’s primary and no candidate filed to run in the Republican primary.
