OTHER "2018 CANDIDATES" IN TEXAS YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW
Governor Greg Abbott is the incumbent Republican running for re-election in the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Gubernatorial Election.
Governor Abbott didn’t face much of a challenge from SECEDE Kilgore, or Barbara Krueger back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in the Republican Party Primary. In case you don’t remember, he rolled to victory with more than 90.42% of the vote statewide in Texas. Over, 1,400,647 Republican Party Primary voters went to the polls to cast ballots for
Governor Abbott. However, you must
keep in the back of your mind that Texas had more than 15,249,541 registered voters on the books and a population of more than 19,900,980 people above the legal age to vote back when the Republican Party Primary took place. So, while no Democrat has won a statewide race in Texas since the Tuesday, November 8, 1994, Gubernatorial Election when George W. Bush the Republican nominee unseated Governor Ann W. Richards, the Democrat nominee – every
(REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE) and
(DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE) must still run their race like they are trailing their opponent by double-digit percentage points.
Lupe Valdez is the
2018 Democrat nominee for Governor of Texas. Valdez won a tough runoff election over fellow Democrat Andrew White to earn the right to challenge
Governor Greg Abbott in the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Gubernatorial Election for the State of Texas. In case you don’t remember,
Lupe Valdez finished first in a stellar field of Democrat Gubernatorial hopefuls including, James Jolly Clark, Cedrick Davis, Sr., Joe Mumbach, Adrian Oceguenda, Jeffrey Payne, Tom Wakely, Andrew White, and Grady Yarbrough back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Primary.
The total number of Democrat voters who cast ballots back in the Democratic Primary was 1,022,558 statewide. Comparatively speaking,
1,549,006 ballots were cast back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Republican Primary according to numbers posted by the Texas Secretary of State. But keep in mind that Texas had more than 15,249,541 (yes, that's fifteen million) registered voters on the books and a population of more than 19,900,980 people above the legal age to vote at the time that the 2018 Democratic Primary Election took place. Those are staggering numbers considering only, a little over a million voters actually cast ballots (statewide) in the Democratic Primary back in March. So, relatively speaking, Tuesday, November 6, 2018, should be more about whether
(THE DEMOCRATS) or
(THE REPUBLICANS) will inspire more voters to go to the polls to cast a ballot --
rather than which party rules Texas.
