A special election is scheduled for next spring to fill a vacant Houston-area seat in the Texas Senate. Governor Greg Abbott announced last Thursday that the election for the Senate District 4 seat will take place on May 2nd.
Republican Brandon Creighton resigned from the Senate early this month to lead the Texas Tech University System. The district covers most of Montgomery County, all of Chambers County, and parts of Harris and Jefferson Counties. Candidates must file to run by March 3rd, and early voting will start on April 20th.
