More primary stuff...

I now have more information from last night...

HD26: Charlie Howard survived a challenge from Paula Stansell and Norm Ley. He will run unopposed.
HD27: Dora Olivo hangs on to win over Ron Reynolds. Next up: Steve Host.
HD140: Armando Walle defeats Kevin Bailey to take the cake in this district...no surprise given Bailey's ties to Tom Craddick.
HD146: Al Edwards gets his old job back, defeating Borris Miles. That's what happens when you barely win in a runoff as a challenger and make headlines going into the primary (i.e. flashing a gun at a party you weren't invited to, mysterious hospital visits, etc.)

In Harris County, County Judge Ed Emmett keeps his day job, defeating Charles Bacarisse. Emmett is the kind of person that can build bridges, so his victory shows that Republicans should appeal to every spectrum of the party, not just the "base". And Kelly Siegler will face Pat Lykos in the runoff (I am supporting Lykos) for District Attorney, a position I was elated to see Chuck Rosenthal vacate given his troubles and sheer arrogance.

Last, but certainly not least, here in Fort Bend, Sheriff Milton Wright fended off a challenge from Billy Frank Teague. And Tom Stavinoha will face Greg Ordeneaux in a runoff for the Republicans in Precinct 1 for County Commissioner, with the Democratic opponent being either Richard Morrison or Sharon Wallingford.

That's all for now...see you later!
