Potter County Judge Nancy Tanner wants your vote this November — but don’t expect for her to ask for it in-person.

On Tuesday night, Tanner skipped the Conservative Patriots 4 Texas meeting in which all local Republican candidates were invited to speak. Tanner’s skip of the meeting followed the Potter County Republican Party’s decision to endorse her write-in opponent, Tom Warren, after Tanner declined several invitations to speak to the body, and after she opposed adoption of a resolution put forward by the county party to allow local Republicans to vote on paper ballots for their March primary election.

In addition to Tuesday night’s meeting, Tanner also skipped a forum held by the Amarillo Branch NAACP last month at Amarillo College. Meanwhile, Warren, and all candidates for contested seats on the Potter County Commission appeared to speak with voters.

Voters will decide the election between Tanner and Warren on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
