SMITH COUNTY, Texas (KETK)– Smith County Criminal District Attorney Jacob Putman announced this week that he will be running for re-election in 2026.
“I am asking for your support so we can continue our mission,” Putman said.”My office has become a leader across Texas in innovation and excellence.”
