Polit candidates line up as 1980 begins in Monahans
In January 1980 Monahans voters faced a crowded field with many Democratic hopefuls for county offices and local races. Incumbents faced challenges, while county and city officials dealt with gas rate studies, new voting devices, traffic safety, and preparations for the upcoming census. A March filing period produced multiple contests for city council, school board, and constable seats as the community tracked weather, fires, and local honors amid ongoing public notices.
