Greg Abbott schedules July special runoff election for Texas' 6th District [View all]
The special runoff election in Texas' 6th Congressional District will take place on July 27, Gov. Greg Abbott announced in a proclamation Wednesday, with early voting starting July 19.
The runoff features two Republican candidates, Susan Wright and Jake Ellzey, vying for the seat held by Republican Rep. Ron Wright, who died in February after contracting Covid-19. Susan Wright is Ron Wright's widow.
Wright and Ellzey forced the special runoff election earlier this month after beating out a sprawling field of Republicans and Democrats competing for the US House seat.
Wright had received a boost when former President Donald Trump endorsed her over the 10 other Republicans in the race. She has focused much of her campaign on her husband's legacy, but was also quick to promote the President's endorsement.
