ENNIS – Ennis will be replacing current Mayor Kameron Raburn soon and is currently working to determine an official date for a special election to fill his mayoral seat.
Raburn announced on October 7 his candidacy for Ellis County Judge.
“I’m excited to officially announce my campaign for Ellis County Judge,” Raburn said. “As a sixth-generation Texan and a proud Republican, I’m ready to bring ethical, conservative leadership to the courthouse. As your county judge, I’ll work to lower your taxes, ensure responsible growth, and serve as a conservative leader you can trust.”
In accordance with election law, Raburn’s announcement triggers his resignation as Mayor of Ennis.
