The Cooke County Commissioner for Precinct 1 is your representative on the county’s governing board, called the Commissioners Court. This office handles county business, not City of Gainesville business. That means it affects county roads, county budgets, taxes, buildings, and services.

For a Gainesville resident, the commissioner is someone to contact about county-level concerns in Precinct 1, such as county road conditions, drainage, or how county money is being spent. The commissioner votes with the county judge and other commissioners on the county budget, tax rate, contracts, and major county policies. They do not run the schools, write city ordinances, or manage state highways.
