Tue, 05/24/2016 - 9:11 pm

In Tuesday's primary runoff election, Travis Babcock beat out Billy Jay Hutchens for the Republican Party nomination for Young County Sheriff. Babcock will be on the November ballot, and he could face a write-in candidate.

Babcock garnered 1,150 votes (58.58 percent), and Hutchens received 813 votes (41.42 percent).

That was the only local race on the runoff ballot. There were no local Democratic Party races in this runoff.
