Voters in Dickens County will cast their ballots in the primary election Tuesday, March 5. Perhaps the most watched contest will be that for the Republican sheriff candidate in Dickens County, a three-person race with Jay Allen, Romero Rodriquez and Jerry Schmidt each vying for a spot on the general ballot in November. As there is no Democratic candidate running in any county race in Dickens, securing the primary nomination typically predicts the outcome in the general.
