In response to the coronavirus pandemic, Governor Abbott recently postponed Texas’ runoff elections, originally set for May 26, to July 14. This means candidates vying for their party’s nomination will have a much smaller window to campaign against the candidate from the opposing party, should they win their respective runoff election.
These runoff candidates will have to leverage momentum, energy, and fundraising effectively over a longer period of time and during incredibly tumultuous circumstances.
Here’s a look at what state legislative candidates facing the runoff election were reported to have in their campaign coffers before the primary election.
