DeRusso Calls For Recount

Michelle DeRusso — the challenger in the race for Tom Green County Commissioner Precinct 1 — announced on Social Media what she plans to call for a recount after a count showed her one vote behind incumbent Commissioner Ralph Hoelscher. The March 5 Republican Primary saw a close race for Pct. 1. DeRusso posted on Facebook that she will pay for the recount, “which is not cheap,” and that donations would be appreciated. The County Republican Party Chairman plans to canvass the results today, making them official and clearing the way for a recount to take place.
