At the top of the ballot, in the race for Governor, incumbent Governor Greg Abbott beat out his primary challengers — winning the Republican nomination for Governor to move forward in his bid for a third term in office. On the other side of the ticket — Beto O’Rourke, the El Paso native who ran for Senate against Ted Cruz four years ago — won over 90 percent of the vote for the Democratic party’s nomination for governor.

There were also some key races that will now head to runoffs. Incumbent Attorney General Ken Paxton faces a runoff for the Republican nomination against Land Commissioner George P. Bush. And down in South Texas, progressive candidate Jessica Cisneros will face a runoff with incumbent U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a conservative Democrat, for Texas’ 28th Congressional District.
