Editor's note: This post was updated Wednesday, May 23, at 9 a.m. with final vote counts and a statement from Mike Siegel.  With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Mike Siegel has claimed the Democratic primary runoff race for U.S. District 10 Representative with 12,274 votes—69.90 percent of the votes. "I am honored to have the opportunity to be the Democratic candidate at a moment in history when so much is at stake," Siegel said in a statement early Wednesday morning. "My campaign is dedicated to fighting for our social safety net, which is under attack by Republicans like Michael McCaul, who voted to cut health care and who voted to enrich himself with tax cuts while eroding and cutting social services." This November, Siegel will challenge incumbent Michael McCaul, who won the Republican primary race with about 80 percent of the votes in March. Siegel's runoff opponent, Tawana Walter-Cadien, followed Tuesday night with 5,285 votes—30.09 percent of the vote. The two headed to a runoff election after neither candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary election earlier this year. Siegel led the race with 39.96 percent of votes in the March 6 primary, and Walter-Cadien followed with 17.96 percent of the vote. “My campaign will have to respond to what Texans are experiencing each day,” Siegel said. “We are going to share my campaign priorities—health care for all, fair immigration policies, and investment in essential infrastructure, including flood control. We are also going to listen carefully to what is most needed. I want this campaign to live and breathe what representative government should look like.”   Ahead of the March 6 primaries, Community Impact Newspaper spoke with each candidate about his priorities. Siegel, a former public school educator who currently works as an assistant attorney in Austin, said he wants to focus on health care, immigration reform and minimum wage. McCaul, who serves as chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security and is in his seventh term representing District 10, said his priorities include Hurricane Harvey recovery, immigration reform and border security. Texas’ 10th congressional district spans multiple counties from the Greater Houston area to the Austin metro area. Results are unofficial until canvassed.
