Hill and Bosque County residents will join voters across Texas at the polls beginning Monday, October 19, when early voting opens for the November 3 general election. Voters will decide races ranging from U.S. Senate and U.S. House to governor and other state offices, along with several decisions closer to home.
Most county-level races were decided in the March primaries, but there will be a contested Hill County Precinct 3 commissioner race on the ballot after Scotty Hawkins’ recent resignation. Republican Martin Dudik, who was appointed to temporarily replace Hawkins, will be on the ballot along with Democrat Sarah Martin.
There will be a contested race for the Texas House District 13 seat, with incumbent Republican Angelia Orr of Hill County and Democrat Albert Hunter of Bosque County on the ballot.
A special election to fill the State Senate, District 22 seat will also be conducted, with Republican David Cook and Democrat Amy Martinez-Salas both seeking the seat vacated by Brian Birdwell. Voters will see two separate races for Texas Senate District 22 on the ballot: a special election to fill the remainder of Birdwell’s term, which ends in January 2027, and a regular election for the next four-year term beginning in January.
In Bosque County, there are two declared write-in candidates seeking a position. Republican Justin Blake is on the ballot seeking the county tax assessor-collector’s unexpired term, and Cindy Anderson is a write-in candidate. In the Bosque County Precinct 4 commissioner race, Republican Larry Musselman is on the ballot and Gary Liardon is a declared write-in candidate.
Hill County voters will have three early voting locations to choose from in Hillsboro, Whitney or Hubbard.
The main early voting location will be the Hill County Covington Street Annex, located at 126 South Covington Street in Hillsboro.
