Special Runoff Election for Texas CD6

Election Day is Tuesday, July 27, 2021.

Candidates include Republicans Susan Wright and Jake Ellzey.

Both candidates boast notable endorsements.

Recent polling indicates Wright maintains a double-digit lead, though his lead is smaller than what polling reflected a month ago.

The same polling also suggests that Republican voters prefer Wright and Democrat voters prefer Ellzey.

Ongoing First Called Special Legislative Session

We are more than halfway through the allotted 30 maximum days to consider Gov. Greg Abbott’s special session agenda items.

The Texas Senate has passed all items on the agenda, except the restoration of funding for Article X or the Legislature itself.

The Texas House of Representatives remains paralyzed due to a lack of quorum needed to conduct any legislative business. They have been at a standstill for two weeks.

Reportedly, more than 90 lawmakers are now present, but it remains unclear whether quorum will be reached before the conclusion of this special session.

There are ongoing internal disputes between present lawmakers on what can be done to penalize absent ones.
