Texans Vote Incumbents Out Of Office
Texans in Texas primaries ousted long standing officials amid a reform mood. Ben Barnes won little support in the Democratic primary while Dolph Briscoe and Frances Farenthold advanced to a June runoff for governor. Barbara Jordan emerged as a strong U.S. House candidate from Houston. Dowdy’s defeat in East Texas moved liberal Charles Wilson into the seat. Nationwide, many incumbents were rejected and reform candidates favored.
