Borrowed name helps Yarbrough in Texas Senate runoff
The Democratic runoff for the U.S. Senate on July 31 features Grady Yarbrough against Paul Sadler after both fell short of a majority. Analysts cite name recognition with Ralph Yarborough as a key factor, noting Yarbrough’s prior runoffs and Sadler’s own statewide campaigns, while Dewhurst faces Cruz in the Republican runoff with money and name ID at stake.
