Texas HD 10 State Representative Jake Ellzey (R-Waxahachie) won the special election runoff last night against Susan Wright (R), widow of former Congressman Ron Wright. Ellzey and Wright earned the most votes in the May 1 special election field of 23 candidates. Wright led the field in May with 19% of the vote over Ellzey’s 14%, but Ellzey pulled off a clear final victory with a 6.5% margin and final result of 53-47.
Once Ellzey is sworn in as Texas’ newest member of Congress, a special election will be held to fill his Texas House seat for HD 10.
