Bastrop, Tx–Pct. 1 Justice of the Peace Bill Weddle said today he will seek a second four-year term next year. He’s seeking the Democratic Party nomination in the March primary but has already drawn a Democratic opponent.
Dickie Henderson, son of former Pct. 1 and Pct. 3 Justice of the Peace Bill Henderson in Bastrop County, has also announced as a candidate for the party’s nomination in 2010. Dickie Henderson is the brother of Pct. 3 Constable Matt Henderson.
In 2006 Weddle won a hard-fought election contest against Republican Willie Pina for the justice court seat. Two years later Pina narrowly defeated Democratic candidate Dock Jackson for the Pct. 1 County Commissioner position.
