**********************
The May 26 primary election runoffs will be delayed until July in response to the growing outbreak of the new coronavirus-

..in Texas under an order signed earlier this evening by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Governor Abbott signed the-
postponement under the emergency powers of his previous statewide disaster declaration. Dozens of runoffs are ongoing for party nominations to congressional and local offices including my own Republican Primary run-off here in Congressional District 15. The elections are now-
..scheduled for July 14; early voting will begin July 6. I applaud Governor Abbott for this decision and thank him for his strong, wise, and thoughtful leadership at this unprecedented time in our state's and nation's history. This order will give voters here in District 15 and..
across the state an extra six weeks before the start of voting in the run-off. That extra time should allow voters to focus on the immediate concern of the coronavirus while at the same being-
able to participate fully in choosing who best to represent their values and interests in the United States Congress.
