6th congressional district

U.S. Rep. Jake Ellzey defeated Susan Wright in a special election runoff for Texas’ 6th Congressional District. In addition to getting the country through the pandemic, Ellzey, a former Navy fighter pilot, says fighting for veterans will always be a top priority for him in Congress.

Republican Susan Wright has advanced to a runoff in the special election to replace her late husband Ron Wright in Texas’ 6th Congressional District.

A runoff for a Texas’ 6th Congressional District is set between Republican Susan Wright, whose husband was the first member of Congress to die after being diagnosed with COVID-19, and state Rep. Jake Ellzey (R-Dist. 10).

Former President Donald Trump on Monday gave his endorsement in a North Texas special congressional election to Republican Susan Wright, the widow of former U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, who died after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

Twenty-three candidates are vying to fill the U.S. House seat held by the late Ron Wright — they include 11 Republicans, 10 Democrats, one Libertarian and one Independent.

The field is growing to fill Congressman Ron Wright’s seat in the special election for Texas’ 6th Congressional District scheduled for May 1.
