Incumbent Withdraws. Romine Out as Republican Runoff Nears
In Texas a Republican nomination race sees Rick Romine withdraw after taking a sheriff’s office post while Winter leads March voting with 48.7 percent and Corning at 26.1. With no Democratic challenger, runoff winner gains the seat. Precinct 4 features Mickey Villalobos facing Alfred Gonzalez for the Democratic nod. Joe Davis, initially winning with over 48 percent, is disqualified for a felony, helping Gonzalez, who won 29.2 percent in March. The winner will meet Nick Marquez, unopposed for the Republican nomination, in November. Other contests include Price versus Keller for presiding judge, Williams versus Holcomb for Place 1, Wallace versus Hervey for Place 2, and Gandy versus Kelly for the Democratic U.S. Senate nod.
