Election results for Smith and Gregg Counties

EAST TEXAS — East Texans turned out to cast ballots Tuesday in this year’s Texas primary, with a number of seats contested on the local, state, and national levels. In one key contest, Nathaniel Moran cruised to an easy victory in the GOP race to succeed Louie Gohmert in Congress. Gohmert was vying for attorney general, but he’s now out of the race; Land Commissioner George P. Bush will face incumbent Ken Paxton in a runoff. In State House District 6, Matt Schaefer won big over challenger Charles Turner. Schaefer will go up against Democrat Cody Grace in November. John Moore and Pam Frederick won their Smith County Commissioners Court elections, and neither faces a November opponent. In Gregg County, longtime Precinct 2 Commissioner Darryl Primo was soundly defeated by challenger Ray Bostick Jr. Click here for the full Smith County results.
