I also want to mention that there is a runoff for District 27 (seat that was held by Blake Farenthold). The Democratic candidates are Eric Holguin and Raul (Roy) Barrera. The two Republicans and the two Democrats that advanced to the runoffs are also candidates in the special election on June 30 to fill the vacated seat.
