Texas is unique from many states in that we have runoff elections if no candidate gets at least 50% of the vote. After the March 2 Primary, we now have 3 statewide runoff elections, plus many others in various districts.
TEXAS RUNOFF ELECTION
MAY 16-20 EARLY VOTING / MAY 24 ELECTION DAY
STATEWIDE RACES:
Attorney General: PAXTON vs Bush
Land Commissioner: Buckingham vs Westley
RR Commissioner: CHRISTIAN vs Stogner
A couple notes on those races…
- Attorney General: Obviously there is no way we’re going to support any Bush, so Paxton is hands down our pick. We were never anti-Paxton when we supported Gohmert for Atty Gen, and we stated as such on our website. We just thought Gohmert was stronger. Now that Paxton is the one who made the runoff, we are fully in support of him to continue as our AG.
- RR Commissioner: You may or may not be aware of the gal who put Wayne Christian in a runoff. She literally exposed her naked body in public for all to see and stated she doesn’t need “money” to win an election. It is an embarrassment to the state of Texas that she made it to the runoff, especially against a man as outstanding as Wayne Christian. She handed out unicorns as campaign cards. We hosted Wayne Christian as part of our Runoff Series in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) satellite on April 19. This was livestreamed from our Facebook page, and the video is available there.
- Land Commissioner: Our Board was split on this race initially. Two of those chosen by the Board lost; one (Buckingham) made it to the runoff. We hosted public interviews of both runoff candidates in the RGV satellite on Friday, May 13, and intended to livestream and post the recording, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. You’ll need to do some research to discover who to vote for, but our Board is leaning toward Buckingham.
