According to the Collin County Commissioners Court, "Hale was elected as Collin County Commissioner, Precinct 3, in November 2018, filling an unexpired term for Precinct 3, vacated by newly-elected County Judge Chris Hill."
The other two commissioners court members, Cheryl Williams and Duncan Webb, along with Hill, are all Republicans.
Johnson, a county resident for more than 20 years, hopes to break into the all-Republican court. She has an extensive background in finance and said her vision was to create a Collin County that works for everyone.
In Texas, each of the state's 254 counties has a commissioners court of five elected members, including the county judge and four commissioners. The commissioners court is the governing body of the county. It runs the county much like a city council runs a city, overseeing the county hospitals, sheriff's office, and other county offices. County judges are elected countywide and serve four-year terms. Commissioners represent a precinct; two are elected every two years on staggered four-year terms.
