(Seguin) — This week’s Saturday Topic program on radio station KWED features a full morning of candidates and information ahead of the March 3 primary elections. This special extended edition of Saturday Topic begins at 7 a.m. on AM 1580 KWED. The early start time allows listeners to hear from all available candidates in locally contested races in Guadalupe County. All local contested races are on the Republican ballot in Guadalupe County.
The lineup begins with an uncontested race. Michael Carpenter is running unopposed in both the primary and the November general election in his bid to become the next Guadalupe County Judge. It is uncommon for someone who does not already hold this office to run unopposed. KWED decided to give voters an opportunity to hear directly from the person who will serve as the next Guadalupe County Judge.

7 a.m. — Michael Carpenter, Guadalupe County Judge
