At a time when civic engagement is more vital than ever, Kimberly Kunz Calderon is proving that leadership knows no age. As one of Colorado County’s youngest election officials, Calderon answered the call when her home precinct—Precinct 103 in Garwood/Nada—needed a presiding judge. Her unwavering commitment has ensured that her community continues to have a voice at the ballot box.
Calderon understands that maintaining a polling location in a rural area requires more than dedication— it demands teamwork. With the 2025 Constitutional Amendment election approaching, she is calling on fel low residents to step forward and serve as election clerks to help uphold the integrity and efficiency of the voting process.
This year’s ballot features 17 proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution, making it one of the most consequential odd-year elections in recent history. Unfortunately, rural communities like Garwood/ Nada often face lower voter turnout and a shortage of volunteers during these cycles.
Due to logistical constraints and limited resources, polling locations will be consolidated for the 2025 election. As a result, voters from Garwood/Nada will cast their ballots at the Rice Consolidated Administration Office in Altair.
Community members who are interested in volunteering or learning more about the election process are encouraged to contact the Colorado County Election Office or reach out directly to Kimberly Kunz Caldron to explore opportunities to serve in Precinct 103 during future elections.
