Tony Mallette has officially entered the lion's den.
Mallette has filed as a Republican candidate for Precinct 1 commissioner, according to Michael Cloud, Victoria County Republican Party chair. No other Republicans have filed for the position.
There is a crowded field for the Democratic nomination, though. Five candidates have filed, including three former or current Victoria officials.
The commissioner race in Precinct 1 has gone Democrat in at least the last four elections.
Former commissioner turned candidate, Chris Rivera held the position for 12 years before getting pushed out by an onslaught of six challengers in the primary. Rivera got 40 percent of the vote before losing in a Democratic primary run-off election to Kenny Spann, the current incumbent.
More information and analysis about all the candidates and election races in Victoria County will come in the weeks ahead.
