Some Close, Some Not (the "Hammer's" Machine Survives)-
Close Votes Force Runoff Elections For District 28, County Attorney, Court-At-Law #1 & GOP Chair
by Bob Dunn (from FortBendNow.com)
Tight races with a multitude of candidates produced the expected results Tuesday, as runoff elections appear certain for state house district 28, Fort Bend County attorney, County Court-at-law #1 and Fort Bend County Republican Party Chairman.
With just five precincts left uncounted, John Zerwas had a comfortable lead in the six-way race for District 28. However, the 2,429 votes he received just represent a hair over 25% of the total. Zerwas needed one vote over 50% to avoid a runoff.
According to Texas election law, if no candidate in a primary race receives more than 50% of the vote, the two candidates with the most votes must meet in a runoff election on the second Tuesday in April, which is the 11th. . .

Comment--One bright spot in the race for republican party chair has to be the survival of Linda Howell to make it into the run-off. Gillen should be worried if Stokes shifts his support to Howell. Remember Gillen is the hand selected replacement for Eric Thode the Houston based former party chair (backed by Delay).

I want to wish Tom Campbell the best and congratulations on running a clean race and to ask those who supported him to consider crossing party lines in the general election!

As told to me this morning, Tom probably keeps in the game because those feeding off of it don't want to upset the food chain.
I hope Campbell stays involved and doesn't endorse Delay!
