(CNSNews.com) - Susan Wright, the widow of U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, was the top voter-getter in Saturday s crowded race for Texas s 6th congressional seat.
Republican Rep. Ron Wright, a cancer patient, died of COVID in February shortly after taking office.
Susan Wright, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, will now advance to a runoff with fellow Republican Jake Ellzey, who received 13.85 percent of the vote to Wright s 19.21 percent. A runoff is necessary because none of the 23 candidates in Saturday s race received at least 50 percent of the vote.

It was 4 April 1911: William F Murray’s first day at work. He had been sworn in to the 62nd United States Congress, and was ready to embark on an illustrious career in politics. There was just one problem.
Murray was 29 years old, making him the youngest representative at the time. He had been endowed with unusually boyish features, and styled his hair with a neat side parting – kind of like he was posing for a school photo. Next to his greying, pot-bellied colleagues, it would be fair to say that he didn’t really look the part.
