Democratic voters will choose their nominee for the Fort Bend County judge in a May 26 runoff election between Dexter L. McCoy and Rachelle Carter.
The big picture
The Democratic race for Fort Bend County judge is one of several county contests that advanced to May runoffs after no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the March 3 primary election.
McCoy and Carter were the two highest-performing candidates in the five-way primary race, with McCoy securing 40.45% of the vote to Carter's 18.91%.
The winner of the May 26 runoff will face the Republican nominee for Fort Bend County judge, Daniel Wong, in the November midterm election.
Also of note
The original version of this election questionnaire was published Jan. 16, ahead of the March 3 primary election. This Q&A was updated to remove the three primary candidates who did not advance to the May 26 runoff, but candidates' answers were not changed from the originally published article.
Candidates were asked to keep responses under 50 words, answer the questions provided and avoid attacking opponents. Answers may have been minimally edited or cut to adhere to those guidelines, or for style and clarity.
