Texas holds a special election on Saturday, June 30, to fill the vacant 27th district seat. Texas special elections do not have party nominees, and no petition is required. Candidates pay a filing fee to get on the ballot. The race has nine candidates, 3 Democrats, 3 Republicans, two independents, and one Libertarian. Here is the candidate list. If no one gets 50%, there will be a runoff in September.

Chris Suprun who finished 9th with 51 votes (0.14%) is one of the two self-proclaimed Texas faithless electors (Texas uses secret ballots). Apparently Larry Lessig, John Kasich, and Van Jones failed to campaign for him.
