Election 2012: Where to vote today (primary runoffs)

—

STAFF REPORT

Republican voters statewide will decide the winner of a pitched battle for U.S. Senate between Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz. Democrats meanwhile will settle a runoff in their own U.S. Senate race — former State Rep. Paul Sadler is running against Grady Yarbrough, a little-known East Texan who managed to hold Sadler below 50 percent in the May primary.

Closer to home, Republican voters will also settle three important races:

• 22nd State District Judge: Assistant Texas attorney general David Glickler of Buda is running against former New Braunfels Mayor Bruce Boyer.
• State Senate: Incumbent Jeff Wentworth is in a heated race to keep his seat against emergency room physician Donna Campbell.
• U.S. Congress – Texas 25: Weatherford car dealer Roger Williams is running against retired army Lt. Col. Wes Riddle for a congressional seat that stretches across more than a dozen counties from western Hays northward to Fort Worth.
