Looks like Sanchez is in a distant 3rd place, with Ellzey and Wright being in a 1 and 2nd place. Not feeling good about this.

(1,425 posts)Wright(R) will make the runoff. Ellzey(R) only leads by 236 votes over Sanchez(D), with the majority of uncounted votes in Tarrant County. This one will be a nail-biter. The Tarrant County D vote is splitting between Shawn Lassiter(D) and Sanchez.
