Texas Primary Date Set...Sorta...

The San Antonio Courts have tentatively set a date for the primary election. It is tentatively set for May 29th. That is the TENTATIVE date, but I don't think its going to change.

That's a long time from now if that date sticks.

The Courts told the Democratic and Republican Parties to prepare for an election on that date and so far it looks like they are both going to keep their conventions as scheduled, which is just two weeks after the election. Somewhere along the way they are supposed to have county conventions as well.

That is going to be tricky.

That means the run-off elections will be after the convention.

The courts stated that they would finalize the date based on how the maps conversation goes.

I wouldn't start printing the date on campaign materials yet, but I would start my walking, phone-banking, and mailing plan based on that date.

The courts have not indicated a filing deadline as of yet.

I'll keep you posted.
