Leading Off (5/14/18)

It's time to vote again, folks.
By |

Early voting for the state’s primary runoffs begin today. The one most folks will pay attention to is District 32’s Democratic congressional race, which pits civil rights lawyer Colin Allred against businesswoman Lillian Salerno. They’re vying for Pete Sessions’ seat, in a district that voted for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Also of note on the Democratic side is the governor’s race between former Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez and businessman Andrew White, who debated on Friday. For the Republican races, outgoing U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling’s seat has attracted Vice President Mike Pence’s support for Jeb’s ex-staffer Bunni Pounds. And the race to replace Ennis Rep. Joe Barton is another one to watch. Find The Dallas Morning News’ Dem recommendations here and GOP nods here. Find your voting place.
