Parker County commissioners will meet Friday to discuss the next steps in filling the position of sheriff.
The meeting comes four days after the item was placed, then removed, from the commissioners regular agenda Monday. I placed the item on the agenda so that we could begin discussions of the process to follow to appoint someone as county sheriff, Precinct 3 Commissioner Larry Walden told the
Weatherford Democrat.
However, Parker County Judge Pat Deen said he was unaware that a commissioner had made the request because it was made verbally and did not get documented. Deen said he put the item on the agenda himself, but decided to pull it because another personnel issue was already on the agenda and he didn t want to combine the two.

Editor s note: The year 2020 has been different, to say the least. As such, we decided to do our annual Year in Review a bit differently as well. This year provided some big issues, some less-than-pleasant news and some positive highlights sprinkled in between. While it isnât our goal to remind you of the bad times, we wanted to use this opportunity as a final door-closing to 2020 and celebrate optimistic expectations for 2021. From all of us at the Weatherford Democrat, we wish you a bright, safe and prosperous New Year!
The year 2020 started off with incumbents sweeping the March primaries in Parker County. Sheriff Larry Fowler moved on to the Nov. 3 election to face off against Libertarian Russell Hess after defeating three challengers in the primaries. Residents stepped up and stepped out to make their voices heard, and the early voting turnout surpassed that of 2016âs early voting numbers.
