Runoff for District 17 set for December

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry today announced a special runoff election to fill the vacancy in Texas Senate District 17 will be held Tuesday, Dec. 16. District 17 includes portions of Harris, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, and Jefferson counties.

A special election to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Sen. Kyle Janek was held during the Nov. 4 general election. In the runoff, Democrat Chris Bell will face Republican Joan Huffman.

On Nov. 4, Bell received more votes than Huffman, but did not reach the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff election.

Early voting for the runoff will be held from Monday, Dec. 8 through Friday, Dec. 12.

The winner of this special election will serve out the remainder of Janek's term, which expires in January 2011.<snip>
