Good morning, 

What would you ask the candidates in statewide Republican runoffs?

Here is the Texas Minute for Monday, March 28, 2022.

– Brandon Waltens

• On Tuesday March 1, Texans took to the polls to vote in their party's primary election. 
   
• In order to win a party's nomination and continue to the November general election, however, candidates must receive a majority of the vote, or "50% plus one."
   
• While many races such as governor, comptroller, and agriculture commissioner were decided in the first round of voting, Republican voters across the state will have their opportunity on May 24 to cast their votes again to determine who will be on the ballot in November in three statewide races.
   
• As part of our Decision Texas coverage, Texas Scorecard has invited all the candidates in statewide Republican runoffs to sit down for an interview in the coming weeks. But we need your help.
   
• What questions would you ask these candidates? Reply to this email with your suggestions and we may use them in our upcoming conversations!
