Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
Benjamin Cross retained his 9th Judicial District judge's seat while Stephen Whittington topped a field of four to win Clovis' magistrate judge's position in Division 2 in Tuesday's primary election.
Other contested-race winners in Curry County included Dusty Leatherwood (Curry County Commission District 3), and Hollie Barnett (probate judge).
In Roosevelt County, Javier Sanchez is the new sheriff, while Roy Criswell and Paul Grider won county commission seats.
All results are unofficial until certified by the state.
None of the local Republican winners on Tuesday face Democratic opposition in November. Independent and write-in candidates have until the end of this month to declare candidacy for the General Election.
We will have reaction to Tuesday's races in Sunday's newspaper.
