PICKETT CLOSING IN ON PARKER'S LONGEVITY RECORD

The relatives of County Court at Law Judge Tommy Chambers are in no danger of losing their place in the City of Liberty record books. Judge Chambers has four relatives that have served as Mayor of Liberty since the town’s beginning in 1873. 

Mayor Scott Parker still has a comfortable five year lead over contenders for most years served as Mayor. Scott served from 1980 to 1993. But Carl Pickett is closing in (2006 -  ). After he serves his first year of his new term, Pickett will pass A.J. McCormick (two terms totaling 8 years in the late 1800’s), Dempsie Henley (1960-1968), and Bruce Halstead (1998 – 2006) who chose not to seek re-election after eight years of service.
