Below are the answers we received from candidates in the 25th Judicial District Judge, Texas House District 17 and U.S. House District 34 races. All essays were written by the campaign.
U.S. House District 34:
Texas House District 17
25th Judicial District Judge
We did not receive profiles from the following candidates: Jacqueline Phillips Ott (R), 25th Judicial District Judge; John Cyrier (R), Texas House District 17; Filemon Vela (D), U.S. House District 34, Osbert Haro III (D), U.S. House District 34; Rey Gonzales (R), U.S. House District 34 and Rod Lingsch (R), U.S. House District 34.
The essays were edited for grammar and formatting, but the messaging was largely left intact. These are the last profiles we received.
