County GOP announces candidate forums

The Bandera County Republican Party has announced a series of six runoff candidate forums across the county as voters prepare for the May 26 election, featuring high-profile matchups for local and statewide offices.

Under Texas election law, a runoff is triggered when no candidate in a multi-candidate primary receives more than 50% of the total vote.

Because the top vote-getters in several key races failed to secure an absolute majority during the March 3 primary, the two leading candidates in those contests must now face each other in a second round of voting to determine the party’s nominee.
