Good morning,
Election Day is tomorrow, March 1, in the primary elections across the state.
While Texas Scorecard does not endorse candidates, we do report on the endorsements and recommendations that grassroots organizations make. In today's Texas Minute, we highlight several of the largest conservative organizations' picks for statewide offices.
Remember: If no candidate for any particular office receives more than 50 percent of the vote, that race will go to a runoff on Tuesday, May 24 for the top-two vote-getters.
