Good morning, 

Here is the Texas Minute for Monday, May 23, 2022.

– Brandon Waltens 

• Election Day is tomorrow, May 24, in the primary runoff elections.
   
• In these races, no candidate was able to secure more than 50 percent of the vote in the March primary election. 
   
• In addition to three Republican statewide positions—which will be on ballots across the state—there are 17 runoffs for the state legislature (including 4 incumbent House members.)
   
• As part of our Decision Texas coverage of the elections, Texas Scorecard has previewed all 17 mashups, including questioning the candidates on hot button issues such as ending the practice of putting Democrats in leadership positions.
   
• Their answers (or lack thereof...) can help inform voters before heading to the polls.
