Voters are heading to the polls statewide Tuesday to choose Democratic and Republican nominees who could shape Texas politics and policy for the next few...
Some key contests could extend into a runoff as choices voters make will shape politics for near term.
Locally, Tarrant and Dallas counties have county judge and county district attorney races. And numerous Texas House primaries feature open seats or challenges to incumbents.The Republican race for attorney general is considered Tuesday’s marquee contest. His challengers are Land Commissioner George P. Bush, former Texas Supreme Court Justice Eva Guzman and U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert of Tyler. They have made Paxton’s legal problems a core issue. But recently Bush and Guzman have clashed in fiery exchanges and campaign mailers.

Johnson endorsed Crockett, a freshman state lawmaker, for the seat. And she is being boosted by two super PACs controlled by cryptocurrency financiers. They have saturated television sets with pro-Crockett ads, initially pledging to spend $1 million each to get her elected. The key theme in the nine-person race is what’s the best approach and who is the best leader to move the district and some of its poverty-stricken areas forward.The other congressional race to watch in North Texas is just north of Dallas. Taylor, a two-term congressman from Plano, is facing an onslaught in the Republican primary.
Taylor did vote to create a 9/11-style bipartisan commission. But when Senate Republicans killed that idea, Taylor vehemently opposed creation of the House committee, echoing complaints by Trump and others that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has used it to pursue a partisan witch hunt. In Collin County, Republicans are vying for District 61, which is a new district in the northern part of the county. Candidates include McKinney council member Frederick Frazier, Paul Chabot and James Herblin.
