Dr Vacek works for Glen Rose Medical Center, is employed by the 501a, which is part of the Somervell County Hospital District budget. If he actually was elected, he'd undoubtedly have to recuse himself from any decisions that involved financial matters, yes? Or credentialing other doctors?  Dr Burroughs is on the board now but she is not employed by the hospital. Have there been other doctors who might have considered running but could not because it would be a conflict?
