Abbott Sets Runoff for Texas House District 145 for Mar. 5


Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has picked Mar. 5 as the date of the special election runoff to replace former State Rep. Carol Alvarado (D-Houston), who won the Dec. special election for State Senate District 6.
Early voting will run Feb. 25 to Mar. 1.
The runoff pits small businesswoman Christina Morales against former Houston City Council Member and former State Rep. Melissa Noriega, both Democrats. They were the top two finishers in the first round of the special election, which was held Jan. 29 and included six other candidates.
