City and school elections pushed back

Governor Abbot has recently issued proclamations that move election dates in the State of Texas due to COVID-19.

The city and school elections have been moved from May 2, 2020 to November 3, 2020 and they will be held jointly with the general election of Federal, State and County offices.  There is a status list attached.

The Democratic and Republican Primary Runoff elections will move from May 26, 2020 and will now be held statewide on July 14, 2020.  In Grayson County, there will only be a Democratic Primary Runoff on July 14.  The Republican Party did not have any races that will require a runoff in our county.

Howe ISD Board of Trustees is the only local election affected where four candidates are running for two seats. Clint Catching, board president, is the only incumbent with Jeff Dailey, Charles Haley, and Lisa Tibbets challenging.
