I’m not sure if you’ve heard the news, but Bert Chalfant passed away earlier this week. My family sends their condolences to Betty Jane, Bert’s widow, and his entire family during their time of loss.

The only news I’ve officially seen regarding Bert’s passing is the announcement here on the Williamson County Public Notices site regarding a special election to fill the vacancy.

Commissioner Chalfant won the Republican primary in May, squeaking out a victory of 11 votes over me. I am committed to running in the special election to serve the voters of District 7 who supported me during the May 3 Republican primary and the voters who wrote in my name as an unofficial write-in in the August 4 general election.
