Runoff Election in Hopkins County Yields Two New Commissioners
May 28, 2024 – The Republican Runoff Election was held Tuesday, May 28, 2024 to determine places for two precinct commissioner spots in Hopkins County. No clear winners emerged during the Republican Primary earlier in the year, so a runoff for both spots were needed. Contenders for Precinct 1 included Wesley Miller and incumbent Mickey Barker. Two new commisioner hopefuls for Precinct 3, Travis Thompson and William (Bill) Holden faced off as Incumbent Wade Bartley decided not to run for reelection. Early Voting turnout was light as 458 votes were cast in the abbreviated early voting time period for Precinct 1, and 328 early votes for Precinct 3. Miller dominated Barker in early voting with 316 votes to Barker’s 142. Precinct 3 early voting was a lot closer as Thompson edged out Holden by a narrow margin of 171 to 157.
