Uncle Si’s daughter landed a new job Saturday night.
Trasa Robertson Cobern, daughter of Si Robertson on the popular A&E reality show Duck Dynasty, won her first political office — Place 4 on the Hurst City Council.
Cobern, a history teacher at Euless Trinity High School, led in the vote count all night, eventually claiming 73 percent of the vote to senior analyst Jeff Childers’ 26 percent, according to complete and unofficial Tarrant County election results.
Cobern and Childers, both political newcomers, were vying to replace longtime incumbent Anna Holzer, who did not seek re-election.
“I am just humbled by the amount of people who have helped me out during this whole process,” Cobern said after early votes were posted.
Cobern, 40, said she thinks that her focusing on issues important to the family drew people out to support her.
“I think I’ve proven that I can get along well and work with our current council,” she said.
The Hurst council election and other Tarrant County races were being settled during Saturday’s local voting, along with dozens of others statewide.
