vote-buttonEarly voting in the May runoff from the March primary begins Monday, May 19. If no candidate received 50 percent of the vote in the primary, the top two candidates face each other in the runoff.

Stonewall Democrats endorsed in the following runoff races:

  • U.S. Senate: David M. Alameel
  • Dallas County District Clerk: Felicia Pitre
  • Dallas County Treasurer: Pauline Medrano
  • State Rep. House District 105: Susan Motley
  • State Board Of Education, District 13: Erika Beltran
  • Justice Of The Peace, Pct. 4, Place 2: Katy Hubener
  • Justice Of The Peace, Pct. 5, Place 1: Sara Martinez
  • Constable, Precinct 5: Beth Villarreal

 

In the U.S. Senate race, David Alameel faces Keisha Rodgers. The Texas Democratic Party put out a warning on Rodgers because her main platform item is impeaching President Obama.

Despite a number of calls to the Alameel campaign and assurances from the campaign that he supports LGBT equality and would add it to his website, nothing on his website indicates any support for LGBT issues. When he ran for the U.S. House of Representatives, he didn’t appear at the Stonewall Democrats candidate forum and didn’t return a Dallas Voice questionnaire. Rep. Marc Veasey won that race. He also sent anyone to represent him at Stonewall endorsements earlier this year.

However, Alameel is scheduled to appear at Tuesday’s Stonewall meeting. Other candidates expected to appear are Medrano, Beltran, Hubener, Martinez and Villareal.

Stonewall Democrats meeting takes place at Ojeda’s, 4617 Maple Ave. on May 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Early voting takes place May 19–23, 7 a.m.–7 p.m.
