On Tuesday, Denton County voters will help decide the fate of a closely watched U.S. Senate race, numerous federal, state and county contests, and local propositions affecting sales taxes and alcohol sales.
Among the most prominent races is the U.S. Senate contest between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico, which could have major implications for control of the Senate.
Southern Denton County voters also will choose their representatives in the U.S. House and Texas House, along with the Denton County Judge and Precinct 4 County Commissioner, among other elected offices. Meet the Candidates here.
Voters in Bartonville, Flower Mound and Justin will consider whether to reauthorize existing local sales taxes dedicated to street maintenance and repairs. Double Oak voters will decide whether to legalize the sale of alcoholic beverages.
