Primary Runoff Voting 2022 Races Of Interest
The following are some of the races we will be following tonight after returns start coming into local election offices.
TX30
In TX30 – a reliably blue district – we will find out who will replace Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, likely for decades.
Jasmine Crockett nearly won the primary outright, but since then has faced a host of charges showing she took money from Trump supporters offshort and has had a number of ethical challenges.
Many of Crockett’s issues were outlined in a website which dropped as early runoff voting started: JasmineCrockett.org.
Her opponent, Jane Hope Hamilton has meanwhile been lining up support from the traditional black community including endorsements from Sen. Royce West and a number of state house representatives.
TX32
The Democratic side of the ballot is handled as Rep. Colin Allred will represent Democrats on the November ballot, but the GOP side is still up in the air between Antonio Swad and Justin Webb.
Insiders are predicting an easy win for Swad, but a wild card exists in Brad Namdar.
Namdar who placed fifth out of six candidates in March was the subject of a Dallas Morning News expose stating he had visited an escort for purposes of sex. He denied these allegations until recently when Current Revolt published a piece outlining his admission and then recant of the admission.
Current Revolt was able to obtain video of Namdar with the escort in question.
Several people have come forward to say Brad Namdar is being investigated by law enforcement at this point which makes the post above from yesterday odd. We reached out to Justin Webb’s campaign to ask if Namdar was endorsing him and if so, why wasn’t he announcing it.
His opponent, Swad, has recently received the endorsement of two of his challengers, Darrel Day and Nathan Davis.
In recent weeks we have had several “persons” reach out to Other Side Dallas to defend Namdar all with different names, but with the same IP signature – indicating not only the same location, but same device.
Neither Swad nor Webb’s campaigns returned emails seeking comment on Namdar’s most recent post.
HD114
Democrats in the new HD114 will choose before former Congressman John Bryant and former Republican Alexandra Guio.
Bryant was known for getting things done and a progressive member of Congress whereas Guio is only known as a former Republican and the city redistricting commission appointee of Paula Blackmon before ghosting her and her staff after announcing her run for HD114.
Commissioners Court 2
The Dallas County Commissioner’s Court race for Democrats has gotten spicy also as charges exist that Andrew Sommerman essentially bought endorsements by donating to other candidates.
Sommerman claims he is a voting rights attorney, but there is no evidence of him taking voting rights issues to trial and at least two sources indicate Sommerman attempted to remove his female opponet from the ballot.
Emails were also leaked showing Sommerman bashing former candidates who endorsed him.
