This is the last week of early voting before the Texas municipal elections on Nov. 4 . Some voters in Tarrant County will also have a special election for the Texas Senate on their ballot.
Senate District 9, which comprises northwestern Tarrant County , is vacant after Republican Kelly Hancock stepped down earlier this year to be the acting state comptroller.
Three candidates are running in the heavily conservative district: Republicans Leigh Wambsganss and John Huffman, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet.
Wambsganss is a conservative activist who has endorsements from President Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Huffman is a former mayor of Southlake and small business owner with endorsements from state Rep. Charlie Geren and Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker. Rehmet
