FBN: Dora Olivo Take Home Victory In Last Nights Primary Race With Several Run-offs Scheduled (get more results)!

Olivo Ekes A Win; Stavinoha To Face Morrison; Gibbs & Olson In CD-22 Runoff
by Bob Dunn, FortBendNow

LLong-time Democratic District 27 State Rep. Dora Olivo held off a strong run by Ron Reynolds in Tuesday’s primary election to hold onto her seat by fewer than 200 votes.

According to unofficial results from the Texas Secretary of State and the Fort Bend County Elections Administration, Shelly Sekula Gibbs will face Pete Olson in a runoff election for the right to represent the GOP and face incumbent Congressman Nick Lampson in the general election.

Also in runoffs are the leaders in their respective party races for Precinct 1 Commission. Incumbent Tom Stavinoha held a substantial lead over Greg Ordeneaux and Bill Dostal, but still faces a runoff with Ordeneaux. Stavinoha had 3,488 votes, Ordeneaux had 2,542 and Dostal got 2,292. Stavinoha would have had to win at least 50% of the total vote to avoid a runoff.

Richard Morrison led four Democratic rivals all night Tuesday, but wasn’t able to garner enough votes to avoid a runoff. He had 4,192 to 2,647 for Sharon Wallingford, and the two will meet again face to face.(follow the title link for the full story)

--We want to personally thank Ms. Stansell for her efforts in running against the incumbent in her district!
