"Texas House District 2 Runoff Election Sparks Statewide Frenzy"
Jill Dutton, endorsed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott's opponents, won the special election runoff race in House District 2, dealing a blow to the far-right wing of the state's Republican Party. Dutton's victory is seen as a win for the state Republican Party's more center-right members and marks a proxy fight within the Texas House. Both candidates, conservative Republicans, campaigned on immigration issues, with Dutton supporting creating a special border police force and taking away state grants to nonprofits that provide services to illegal migrants.
