Candidate Rochelle Garza, a former ACLU Staff Attorney, will be in the runoff after coming in first place Tuesday night, March 1, after winning 423,212 votes or 43%.
Attorney and former Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski is in second place after earning 196,463 votes or 19.6%, while Civil Rights Attorney Lee Merritt received 195,045 votes or 19.46%.
Whoever wins the runoff May 24 will face the winner of the Republican primary runoff: either incumbent Ken Paxton or George P. Bush, the current Texas Land Commissioner. “I think that this time next week, we’re going to see Joe Jaworski firmly in the runoff as the second-place vote getter, and it’ll be a new race,” he said.Merritt said, “If we’re going to win Texas statewide, we’re going to have to engage non-traditional voters, we’re going to have to engage voters under 30. That’s what our campaign has always been about.
In an interview Friday, Garza pointed to the fact she received 235,749 more votes than Jaworski in the first round.She said she’s looking ahead to the general election in November.
