In a closely watched Special Election to fill the State House District 2 seat left vacant by the expulsion of former representative Bryan Slaton, Jill Dutton emerged victorious over Brent Money.
The unofficial final count revealed a narrow victory for Dutton, with 6,830 votes compared to Money's 6,719.
Dutton secured wins in Hopkins and Van Zandt counties, while Money claimed victory in Hunt County. With this result, Dutton is set to complete the remainder of Slaton's unexpired term.
Looking ahead, both Dutton and Money have filed as candidates for the party primary election scheduled for March 5.
