The 21-member Montgomery County Commission has gone from being evenly split to having an 11-member Democratic majority. Republicans won five County Commission races Thursday night, flipping two from independents, including Brad VanKirk unseating incumbent independent David Shelton. “Now that they have to come to us, let’s go ahead and do right by the people of Montgomery County.” So that’s one of the main partisan issues that you’ll see on the County Commission, and we need to hold that,” Smith said. “Not only are we going to flip the County Commission, not only are we going to flip the School Board, but we’re going to flip Montgomery County,” she said.
