As of the 2020 census, its population was 145,310.[1] Its county seat is Kaufman.[2] Both the county, established in 1848, and the city were named for David S.

There he was directly inspired for such paintings as The Approaching Herd (1902).[3]

## Kaufman County murders

[edit]

Main article: Kaufman County murders

In December 2012, Texas officials issued a statewide bulletin warning that the Aryan Brotherhood was "actively planning retaliation against law enforcement officials" who worked to prosecute the gang's leadership.[14]

In January 2013, Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse of Kaufman County was assassinated by gunshot outside the Kaufman County courthouse.[14] On March 30, 2013, District Attorney Mike McLelland, along with his wife, were found shot and killed in their home.[15] On April 13, 2013, ex-justice of the peace Eric Williams was arrested for making terrorist threats to county officials by email. Hasse and McLelland had aggressively prosecuted Williams in a theft case. Williams was convicted, and lost his position and his law license as a result.[16] On April 17, 2013, his wife Kim Williams was arrested on capital murder charges in all three deaths.[17]

Officials did not link these arrests or events to the Aryan Brotherhood. Eric Williams was convicted at trial and sentenced to death on December 16, 2014.[18] Kim Williams pleaded guilty on December 30, 2014, and received a 40-year sentence.[19]

## Politics

[edit]

Prior to 1952, Kaufman County was a Democratic Party stronghold in presidential elections. From 1952 to 1980, it was still primarily Democratic, though the party's margin of victories were far lower than before. Republican Richard Nixon won the county handily in 1972 as part of his national landslide. Starting with the 1984 election, it has become a Republican stronghold, though neither of Bill Clinton's two Republican opponents managed a majority despite winning the county due to Ross Perot's strong third-party candidacy.

The county's Republican lean has lessened a bit due to population growth in the DFW metroplex in recent years, but it still remains strongly Republican. Republicans have consistently won more than 60% of the vote in the county in the 21st century.
