Sure, we have a huge election coming up in November, but first are the primaries, where we determine who will ride the Blue Wave. In Texas, that’s coming up soon … March 6.
Are you familiar with everyone who’s running? Below is a list of Twitter handles for those on the ballot in state races. You can find all races listed on this Texas Tribune site.
I gathered these Twitter handles through simple searches and surely missed some. Those I did not find are marked with “NA” and I will update the list when you share a valid handle with me.
Some candidates without a Twitter account did have a Facebook page and/or a website. Some had almost no presence whatsoever.
Let’s do our research and vote wisely.
