Johnny C. Garcia and Maureen Galindo will appear on the ballot in the March Democratic primary runoff election for the U.S. House of Representatives District 35 seat.
Why it matters
In the March primary election, two other candidates appeared on the ballot for the District 35 seat: Whitney Masterson-Moyes and John Lira. Out of the four candidates, Galindo and Garcia received the most votes, securing 29.2% and 27.02%, respectively. Since no candidate received over 50% of the vote, the race is on the runoff ballot.
The winner in the May 26 primary runoff election will run against the winner of the Republican primary runoff in November to determine who will represent the district.
Zooming in
The U.S. House District 35 seat stretches from Austin to San Antonio, along the I-35 corridor, according to Ballotpedia.
The current District 35 representative is Democrat Greg Casar, who ran for the U.S. House District 37 seat in the March primary elections and received 80.75% of the vote, securing a spot on the November ballot.
Early voting for the primary runoff election was held from May 18 to May 22. Election day is May 26.
