2018 Primary Election Filing Time

The candidate filing deadline for the March 2018 partisan primary came and went on Monday night, meaning that what follows amounts to the full lot of who you'll be seeing campaigning for various federal, state, and county races over the next 11 months. There aren't many surprises; save for U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, the Republican retiring from Congressional District 21 after 30 years in office, all the big-name incumbents (listed in italics) are running for another term. And though Democrats once again face an uphill battle at the state Capitol, with candidates for most of those offices falling short of the profiles being presented by their Republican counterparts, it's of some small comfort that they at least have a candidate in every race. Here's to being sick of most of the names you see on this list by March.
