What else?
In addition to the primary for the presidential race in November, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is up for re-election.
At the state level, some of the competitive primary races, which affect Brazoria County, include:
- Texas House districts 24 and 29
- Texas Railroad commissioner
- Several Court races, including Texas Supreme Court places 2, 4 and 6
The Brazoria County Precinct 1 commissioner's race has four Republicans on the ballot, while Brazoria County constable races for precincts 1 and 4 also have competitive Republican primaries.
The winners of the March 5 primary will advance to the general election in November.
However, races that have more than two candidates have the potential for a runoff, as a candidate competing in the primaries will need a majority of support before they can be declared the winner, Texas Secretary of State spokesperson Alicia Pierce said.
Results on election night will not be made official until canvassed.
