Texans vote in runoff for next Texas senator
Texas voters face runoff primaries on July 31 to choose the successor to retiree Kay Bailey Hutchison. In May 29 GOP and Democratic primaries about 1.4 million and 0.5 million voters participated, with expectations that November turnout will rise but runoff turnout remains weak. Ted Cruz and David Dewhurst lead the Republican field, while Paul Sadler and Grady Yarbrough lead the Democrats, with ads likely to intensify ahead of turnout and campaign finance battles.
