Tarrant County Commissioner Gary Fickes won’t seek re-election

As I’ve casually said over the past three years, “I will not seek re-election in 2024.” It’s now time to make that official.

At the end of my term, I will have served eighteen years as the Commissioner in
Precinct 3. This has been the most incredible and rewarding job of my life.

Add ten years as Mayor of Southlake and Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission; what more could you ask for in public service?

It’s been an honor and a privilege to serve as your voice for our transportation needs, senior issues, and other community-related initiatives, locally and in Austin.

A special thanks to all the great senior citizens we’ve met and who attend our “Empowering Seniors” event, as well as all the cities, businesses, and sponsors who support our Tarrant Transportation Summit.” Most of all, I am grateful and privileged to have worked for you, and with your support, we made NE Tarrant County, Precinct 3, a better place to work, live and raise our families.
