Texas voters settled unfinished business from the March Primary on May 26, when they decided who would be on the ballot for the November general election or who would take office next year.
The marquee matchup on that ballot was the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate between incumbent John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
On Election Day, Paxton secured the Republican nomination, easily defeating Cornyn, the Associated Press projects.
Paxton will face Democratic nominee James Talarico, an Austin-area state representative and former San Antonio teacher who won his primary bid against U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
Another seat both parties had their eyes on is the newly-drawn Congressional District 35. Republicans and Democrats both want this seat formerly held by Greg Casar, who was drawn out of the district in last year’s redistricting. Casar will seek re-election in District 37.
On the Republican side, Carlos De La Cruz defeated John Lujan with 58% of the vote on May 26. De La Cruz, an Air Force veteran and brother to U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz (District 15), was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
On the Democratic side, Johnny Garcia defeated Maureen Galindo with 64% of the vote.
Garcia is a now-former spokesperson for the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office.
In Bexar County, the race for the Democratic spot on the ballot for District Attorney is down from eight to two: Luz Elena Chapa and Jane Davis.
That race is too close to call as of 5 a.m. Wednesday, May 27.
The winner of this runoff will face Republican Ashley Foster in November, along with any independent candidate who makes it onto the ballot. The winner of that contest will take over from outgoing District Attorney Joe Gonzales, who is not seeking re-election after two tumultuous terms in office. Gonzales has endorsed Jane Davis as his successor.
