Wilson Wins Henry County Attorney Special Election

Voters in Henry County have selected Becky Wilson as their next County Attorney following Tuesday’s special election.

According to unofficial results from the Henry County Auditor’s Office, Wilson received 1,214 votes, defeating Abbie Liechty, who received 1,016. A total of 2,232 ballots were cast across all nine precincts, including absentee voting.

Wilson led in most precincts and held a strong advantage in absentee ballots, helping secure the win.

The special election was held to fill the vacancy left by former County Attorney Darin Stater, who stepped down in early February. The Henry County Board of Supervisors opted to hold a special election rather than appoint a replacement through the November 2026 general election, when the seat will again be on the ballot.

Results will remain unofficial until they are canvassed and certified on April 7th.

Wilson is expected to assume the role following certification.
