Democrat Taylor Rehmet and Republican Leigh Wambsganss will square off in the special election runoff for Texas Senate District (SD) 9 on January 31 next year.
Gov. Greg Abbott set the runoff date on Monday after canvassing the results for the special election that occurred earlier this month, in which Rehmet finished only 2.5 points shy of winning outright. Wambsganss pulled in 36 percent of the vote, well ahead of the other Republican in the race, John Huffman.
