 Republican Women to hold HD68 Candidate Forum on January 7th

 

Given the short notice for the January 23 Special Election to fill the Texas House seat vacated by Senate-bound Drew Springer, Cooke County Republican Women have turned their January 7 meeting into a candidate forum. The Club will invite all Republican candidates as they file for a place on the ballot.

 

The forum will take place at 7pm on Thursday, January 7, at Cross Timbers Church, 6134 FM 922, Valley View 76272, on the south side of 922 between Valley View and Mountain Springs. Members and the general public are encouraged to attend and meet the candidates. The Club also plans to livestream the forum on Facebook.

 

As with the recent election for State Senator, candidates of any party affiliation can file. A candidate must garner a clear majority to win outright. If no candidates gets over 50% of the votes cast, the Secretary of State will schedule a runoff election between the top two vote-getters.

 

Early voting is scheduled for six days only, Monday through Friday, January 11-15, and Tuesday, January 19, at the Courthouse Annex, from 8am to 6pm.

 

Election day is SaturdayJanuary 23, 7am-7pm, at precinct polling locations as posted on the County’s website.

 

Those who wish to vote by mail need to file a new Application for Ballot By Mail (ABBM) with the County Clerk as soon as possible. Call the Clerk’s office for assistance, 940-668-5437.

The Texas Secretary of State’s Elections Division provides a listing of candidates who have filed: https://candidate.texas-election.com/Elections/getQualifiedCandidatesInfo.co. The filing deadline is 5pm, Monday, January 4.
