Party primary runoff early voting begins Wednesday
Early voting for the July 14 party primary runoff election begins June 29 and continues through July 10.
Ballots may be cast in only one location for early voting in the Montague County Annex Community Room in Montague. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Fridays only. It will be closed July 3.
Voters have a total of six races to decide. The winners will face off against the other primary winners in the November general election.
You do not have to have voted in the March election to vote in the runoff; however, if you did vote, you must vote in the same party runoff.
That specific party affiliation is retained by a voter for one year.
On the Democratic ticket there are three races. Mary “MJ” Megar and Royce West faceoff for the United States Senate seat.
For the District 13 Congressional seat, Gus Trujillo and Greg Sagan are battling it out. Chrysta Castaneda and Roberto R. “Beto” Alonzo are the candidates for railroad commission.
On the Republican ballot Ronny Jackson and Josh Winegarner are battling to take District 13’s congressional seat. For Justice, 2nd Court of Appeals District, Place 7 has Brian Walker and Elizabeth Beach on the ticket.
Election day voting will be set up in Montague, Bowie, Nocona and Saint Jo.
The cast and crew of Gold-Burg High School’s state-bound one-act play “Interview,” will present a public show at 4 p.m. on May 5 in the Bowie Junior High Auditorium.
Admission is $5 and there will be a bake sale to raise funds for travel and other OAP expenses. The show is directed by Linda Fitzner.
The group will travel to Austin to perform on May 13 for the state title. This is the school’s first time to take a play to the state contest.

Voters in Bowie and Forestburg Independent School Districts will have their say Saturday as both entities offer up bond issues to improve infrastructure.
Early voting came to an end on Tuesday with a total of 1,230 people casting their ballots.
On election day the polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at three locations: Bowie Senior Citizens Center, Forestburg ISD Library and Sunset City Hall. Voters can cast their ballots at any of these locations due to countywide voting.
