Editing Martin County, Texas (section)

=== Government ===
Martin County, like all counties in Texas, is governed by a [[Commissioners Court|commissioners' court]]. This court consists of the [[county judge]] (the chairperson of the court), who is elected county-wide, and four commissioners who are elected by the voters in each of four precincts.

The Commissioners' Court is the policy-making body for the county; in addition, the county judge is the senior executive and administrative position in the county. The Commissioners' Court sets the county tax rate, adopts the budget, appoints boards and commissions, approves grants and personnel actions, and oversees the administration of county government. Martin County is one of only a few Texas counties where the county and district clerks have been combined into one position.

Martin County is represented in the United States Congress as part of [[Texas's 19th congressional district]], represented by Republican [[Jodey Arrington]] of [[Lubbock, Texas|Lubbock]]. Its two senators are [[Ted Cruz]] and [[John Cornyn]], both Republicans. At the state level, Limestone County is represented in the Texas State Legislature as part of [[Texas's 82nd House of Representatives district]], represented by Republican [[Tom Craddick]] of [[Midland, Texas|Midland]], and [[Texas Senate, District 31]], represented by Republican [[Kevin Sparks]] of Midland.
