The winner will face Democrat James Talarico\u00a0in an expensive November election.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a heated GOP primary runoff to replace Paxton as Attorney General, where the party is choosing between state Sen.\u00a0Mayes Middleton\u00a0(R-Galveston) and U.S. Rep.\u00a0Chip Roy\u00a0(R-Dripping Springs).<\/p>\n<p>Republicans\u2019 runoff ballot also includes candidates vying for a seat on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission and Texas Senate District 19.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sanantoniomovingreport.com\/?p=355\">Alamo Heights kids, mother return home after ICE detainment<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The winners of all of those races will still have to face a Democrat in November \u2014 but in the case of statewide races, Republicans have won every office on the ballot for more than three decades, so the GOP primary is generally the main event.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have more to decide in local races: A Bexar County District Attorney runoff will determine the odds-on favorite to succeed\u00a0retiring DA Joe Gonzales, and a Texas House race on the West Side will produce the likely replacement for\u00a0retiring state Rep. Ray Lopez (D-San Antonio).<\/p>\n<p>Bexar County Clerk\u00a0Lucy Adame-Clark\u00a0and District Clerk\u00a0Gloria Martinez\u00a0were both held below 50% by challengers in the March primary, and now face runoffs to hang onto their party\u2019s nominations for November.<\/p>\n<p>But in a year where\u00a0some believe the whole state\u00a0could be in play, Bexar County voters will also play a big role in choosing Democrats\u2019\u00a0nominee to replace Paxton, and to\u00a0take on Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick\u00a0in November.<\/p>\n<p>The field is set for most of the congressional races in this area. <\/p>\n<p>When U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-San Antonio) withdrew his reelection bid, it cancelled the GOP runoff in Texas\u2019 23rd Congressional District, making Brandon Herrera the party\u2019s nominee for November. <\/p>\n<p>But in the new 35th Congressional District, which stretches southeast from San Antonio, both parties are still choosing their nominees for what\u2019s expected to be one of the most closely watched races in the country this fall.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sanantoniomovingreport.com\/?p=354\">SAT settles dispute with Southwest Airlines, giving it 3 gates in new terminal<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every registered Texan has a race to decide in the Republican and Democratic primary runoffs.
