Moore gets sheriff’s endorsement in Commissioners Court bid

TYLER — Smith County Commissioner Precinct 2 candidate John Moore has secured the endorsement of Sheriff Larry Smith, who joins numerous others in backing Moore. The Precinct 2 seat is currently held by Cary Nix, who will not be seeking re-election. Moore thus far is opposed in the 2022 GOP primary by retired restaurateur Gus Ramirez, who served on both the Commissioners Court and the Tyler City Council many years ago.
