It’s election day in Texas, which means voters are heading to the polls across the state to decide who will represent their parties on the November ballot.
Much of the spotlight has focused on the state’s two blockbuster primaries for U.S. Senate. On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Dallas and state Rep. James Talarico of Austin are each pitching to voters that they would be the better pick to lead their party out of the political wilderness. Meanwhile, Republican Sen. John Cornyn is trying to fend off a difficult primary challenge from Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt of Houston, in a race that could head to a May runoff.
