Saturday morning the DeKalb County Republican Party caucused to formally nomite candidates for the offices of Assessor of Property and Constable for the 2020 County General Election in August.

Incumbent Assessor of Property Shannon A. Cantrell of Smithville was nominated for re-election. He was first elected in 2016.

Travis Bryant, who currently serves as a Democratic Constable in the District 3 has switched parties and will be seeking the same office as a Republican in 2020.

Jerry Adcock, Republican member of the County Commission in the District 5 moved to nominate Incumbent Fifth District Democratic Constable Mark Milam as the GOP’s candidate too for the position since no other Republican has announced for the office. Adcock’s request was tabled by the caucus.

Adcock, who apparently made this move without Milam’s knowledge or approval, said it was his way of honoring Milam who is from his home district. Milam, a Democrat, did not attend the Republican caucus Saturday.

Milam has already qualified to run for re-election in the DeKalb County Democratic Primary on March 3.
