Contested races to appear on March 2020 Primary ballot By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Guadalupe County) -- It looks as though there will be a handful of contested races that voters will get to decide on during the March 2020 Republican Primary Election. Monday was the deadline to officially file for a place on the ballot. There are no locally contested races on the Democratic ballot for Guadalupe County voters. Those races appearing on the Republican ballot include the position of Guadalupe County Sheriff. Incumbent Arnold Zwicke has drawn an opponent. He faces Jimmy Harless, who currently serves as Guadalupe County Constable Pct. 2.
Greg Seidenberger, Guadalupe County Commissioner Pct. 1, also faces a challenger in the Republican Primary. He goes on to face Candidate Grumpy Azzoz. The seat for Guadalupe County Commissioner Pct. 3 is also up for grabs. Longtime Commissioner Jim Wolverton has chosen not to seek re-election. Candidates seeking the position include former Schertz Mayor Michael Carpenter and
Cedric Edwards.

Two candidates will also go head to head for the position of Guadalupe County Constable Pct. 2. They include candidates Trey Kelly and Mark Reyes. Kelly retired from the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office earlier this year while Reyes currently serves the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office as a sergeant of patrol. The position was vacated by Harless, who is seeking the position of county sheriff. Also appearing on the Republican ballot is the race for the 25th Judicial District seat which serves Seguin and Guadalupe County. Judge William "Bill" Old III is seeking re-election for the position that also includes the counties of Gonzales, Lavaca and Colorado. Old begins the campaign against challenger Jacqueline Phillips Ott. Ott currently serves as a Guadalupe County prosecutor. Positions not drawing an opponent include county attorney, county tax-assessor and constable precincts 1, 3 and 4. Judge Jessica Richard Crawford is also running unopposed for the 2nd 25th Judicial District seat. The election is scheduled for Tuesday, March 3.
This week, local celebrities have been invited to participate in an Hour of Code at Seguin ISD's seven elementary schools. District officials extend a special thank you to Terry Nichols, Seguin chief of police, for taking the time to code with second graders in Mrs. Jessica Casiano's lab at Koennecke Elementary on Dec. 9.
