Following Tuesday night’s primary run off elections, Republican Ronny Jackson will face Democrat Gus Trujillo this November for the 13th Congressional seat being vacated by US Rep. Mac Thornberry of Clarendon.
The overall district winners mirrored the local results. Jackson was the choice of Donley County Republicans 329-272 over Josh Winegarner. Local Democrats favored Trujillo 20-5 over Greg Sagan.
Local Republicans also favored incumbent Larry Doss over Steven Denney, 326-203, for the 7th Court of Appeals nomination. Doss also won the nomination overall.
Local Democrats also followed the state in preferring MJ Hegar to Royce West, 18-11 to face US Senator John Cornyn in the fall; and they likewise followed their state party trend in voting for Chrysta Castaneda over Beto Alonzo, 24-5, as their candidate for Railroad Commissioner.
