Andrea Stroh Thompson is leading with 64.35 percent of the vote, or 4,175 votes, after early voting totals were released in the May 24 Republican primary runoff election race for 416th Judicial District judge. Michael Puhl has 35.65 percent of the vote.

In the March 1 primary election, the top two vote-getters were Thompson with 41.9 percent of the vote and Puhl with 29.33 percent of the vote. Because no candidate received at least 50 percent of the vote, the race went to a runoff election between Thompson and Puhl.

Lon L. Garner and Andrea Kelly Bouressa trailed in the March 1 primary with 16.7 percent and 12.06 percent of the vote, respectively.

Thompson, a licensed attorney, served as Collin County District Clerk from 2011-15. Before that, she owned her own law firm. She received her law degree from the South Texas College of Law in Houston. She is a Plano resident.

Puhl is board certified in family law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has spent 34 years as a practicing attorney. He was appointed by former governor Rick Perry as chairman of the Texas Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists. He has lived in Collin County for 24 years.

The 416th Judicial District serves all of Collin County. The winner of the primary race will take the place of Chris Oldner, who did not seek re-election.

Results are unofficial until canvassed.
