February 19, 2020 - I am Willis Blackwell, currently your Shelby County Sheriff. As I prepare to retire from 45+ years of law enforcement, I would love to continue my service to the citizens of Shelby County as Commissioner of Precinct 3. The word “retire” is simply a figure of speech.

Beto for Texas

March 16, 2018 - I would like to thank the voters of Shelby County Pct. 4 that came to the polls on March 6th and supported me in my bid to become your Commissioner. The results have mandated a primary runoff between myself and the incumbent three term Commissioner.

I would especially like to thank the other two challengers in the March 6th election, Bo Todd and Kevin Foster. They campaigned with dignity and conducted themselves as gentlemen. Thank you, to you both!

February 12, 2018 - Shortly after my making the announcement to seek the office of Shelby County Commissioner, Pct. 4, rumors began circulating concerning actions I would take if elected. I know this due to the number of citizens that stopped me on the street, came by my farm or called me to inquire if the rumors were true. Each time I tried to assure them that what they were told was not truthful, but the old saying of “bad news travels like wild fire and good news travels slow” came to pass. I owe it to the citizens of Shelby County and especially those who live in Pct.
