People get ready!
HERE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT…
On Tuesday, January 20, there will be two special elections held to fill vacancies in the Texas Senate. In Northeast Texas’ District 1, Sen. Bill Ratliff is retiring after 15 years of service. On the opposite side of the state, District 31 Sen. Teel Bivins is stepping down to accept an appointment by President Bush to become Ambassador to Sweden.
Candidates for these special elections must file applications with the Secretary of State no later than Monday, Dec. 22. The early voting period for this special election runs from Monday, Jan. 5, through Friday, Jan. 16.
Victory in both special elections is critical to maintaining a strong Republican majority in the Senate.
