CD 22 Update: Former US Congressman Steve Stockman, Libertarian Bob Smither file for Special Election
Cd 22 conservatives will have several candidates to choose from on the special election ballot for the 2 months left in Tom Delay's unexpired term.
The Secretary of State's office has released the candidate list for the Special Election and along with Republican Shelly Sekula-Gibbs, former US Congressman Steve Stockman has filed.
In another twist, Libertarian Bob Smither hs changed his mind and will run in the special election as well.
Democrat Nick Lampson will not be on the ballot for the Special Election and is focusing his efforts on winning the General Election which will be on the same ballot.
The General Election will be for the full term starting in January.
If none of the five candidates in the Special Election get more than 50% of the vote, there will be a Special Election Runoff in December between the two top vote getters for the one month term.
