Highland Lakes voters cast their ballots July 14 in the Democratic and Republican primary runoffs. Winners now advance to the November 3 ballot.
The runoff elections were delayed from May 26 due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns, and more mail-in ballots than usual are anticipated to count toward the final tally, though they have yet to be included in the July 14 numbers.
In the Democratic runoff for the U.S. Senate nomination, Mary “M.J.” Hegar beat Royce West, 52.1 percent to 47.9 percent. Hegar has declared victory and will ultimately face incumbent GOP Sen. John Cornyn in November.
