Merkel man announces plans to run for Taylor
County commissioner seat
A retired educator from Merkel said Wednesday he will file
for the Taylor County Precinct 2 commissioner seat being vacated
by Don Dudley.
Nowlin D. "Corky" Cox graduated from Merkel High
School in 1954 and McMurry University in 1961. He earned a master's
degree in education in 1976 from Southwestern Oklahoma State University.
He was a school teacher and coach for 30 years in several West
Texas towns, including Aspermont, Jayton and Peacock. He was at
Merkel for four years before retiring as an assistant high school
principal in 1993.
This is the first attempt at public office for Cox, who will
run as a Democrat.
"I'm not dissatisfied with the way things are going,"
said Cox, 61. "I think the county government is doing a pretty
good job.
"I probably won't change anything, but I probably won't
be as visible like driving a truck, like (Dudley) did."
Filing begins Dec. 3 for the March Democratic and Republician
primaries. The election is in November 1998.
