Ronny Jackson was endorsed by President Donald Trump in his bid for Texas' 13th Congressional District. REUTERS/Joshua RobertsRonny Jackson, the former White House physician and President Donald Trump's onetime nominee for secretary of veterans affairs, has won his bid for the Republican nomination for a solidly red congressional seat in the Texas Panhandle. Jackson and Winegarner were competing for a seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Clarendon, who is retiring and held the seat since 1995. With just under half of polling locations reporting, Sessions held an eight percentage point lead. Sessions previously represented the Dallas-based 32nd Congressional District since 1996, but lost reelection in 2018 to current U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, a Democrat.

Texas has become one of the world's virus hot zones and is in far worse shape now than when the runoff was postponed in March. Last week was the deadliest of the pandemic for Texas, and Republican Gov. Abbott did not include polling places in his recent statewide mask order, and unlike many states, Texas has fought efforts to expand mail-in balloting during the pandemic. The Senate runoff is between Air Force veteran MJ Hegar, who narrowly lost a race for a House seat in 2018, and state Sen. Royce West, who if he wins would become Texas' first Black U.S. senator. For now, both remain underdogs against Cornyn, a three-term Senate veteran who has a hefty stockpile of campaign dollars.

Since then, he has moved 100 miles south in hopes of a political comeback in a different district. "Renee's opponent in the Republican Runoff Election is Pete Sessions, a former Congressman for more than 20 years ... from DALLAS. "This lack of attention to his constituents shows us what we can expect if Pete Sessions is elected to represent the 17th district," Flores added. Around that time, campaign finance reports showed that Sessions spent campaign funds on criminal defense attorney fees a point of criticism from the Swann campaign. He is the former consultant to Flores, and he worked in a similar role for another Texas Republican: Pete Sessions.
