Who’s on the Nov. 8 ballot? Here’s your Fort Worth-area midterm election voter guide
It’s time to head to the polls, as early voting for the Nov. 8 general election begins Monday, Oct. 24.
Voters will cast ballots for the U.S. House of Representatives, the Texas House and the Texas Senate. Governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general are among the statewide races on the ballot.
In Tarrant County, voters will pick a new county judge and district attorney, as the incumbents decided not to seek reelection. The ballot also includes races for county commissioners, justices of the peace and district judges.
