In Bastrop County, Texas, voters have overwhelmingly re‑elected incumbent Commissioner David Glass to represent Precinct 4. With all 15 precincts reporting, the unofficial results show Glass winning 74.38% of the vote, while write‑in challenger Kat Hammer trails far behind.
Early voting indicated a strong lead
When five of the 15 precincts had reported earlier on the night of November 3, Glass already held a commanding lead of 71.5%. Those early numbers foreshadowed the final outcome, underscoring the community’s confidence in Glass’s continued service on the county commission.
Voter participation in early voting
According to Bastrop County election officials, 27,632 in‑person ballots were cast during the early‑voting period from October 19‑30. That figure represents 42.2% of the county’s registered voters, reflecting robust civic engagement ahead of the general election.
What the result means for Precinct 4
Commissioner Glass’s decisive win provides continuity for residents of Precinct 4, which includes the towns of Bastrop, Cedar Creek, and surrounding rural areas. Glass has emphasized his focus on maintaining reliable county services, supporting local infrastructure projects, and preserving the traditional values that many families in the area hold dear.
While the write‑in campaign of Kat Hammer did not gain significant traction, the presence of a challenger demonstrates the healthy democratic process at the county level. Voters were given a clear choice, and the outcome reflects the community’s preference for experienced leadership.
Looking ahead
Commissioner Glass will continue to serve a four‑year term, during which the county commission will address budget priorities, road maintenance, and public safety initiatives.
