Democrat MerrittForTexas has suspended his campaign for Texas attorney general and endorsed RochelleMGarza, who will face JaworskiForTX in a May 24 runoff to decide Democrats’ nominee.
Rochelle Garza, left, and Joe Jaworski, Democratic candidates for Texas attorney general, will face off in a May runoff after candidate Lee Merritt suspended his campaign Thursday., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
More than a week after election day, Merritt, who was less than 4,000 votes behind Jaworski for second place, conceded that he had failed to garner enough votes to make the runoff and endorsed Garza. Merritt said he was still within a"razor thin margin" of Jaworski but wanted to help consolidate support for Garza so she could focus on winning the general election in November.
Decision Desk HQ, The Texas Tribune’s election results partner, predicted last week that Garza would proceed to a runoff after she received around 43% of the vote, well short of the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff. On Thursday afternoon, Decision Desk determined Jaworski would advance to the runoff with Garza.as Jaworski maintained a slight lead over Merritt as some absentee and provisional ballots continued to be counted.
