This Week in Texas: sits 1-on-1 with Democratic DA candidates ahead of Election Day

In a fresh installment of This Week in Texas, two Democratic candidates vying for the nomination for Harris County District Attorney discuss key issues pertinent to voters.

The race features incumbent Kim Ogg, who is seeking a third term, and Sean Teare, a former deputy under Ogg’s leadership.

Ogg emphasized her commitment to representing the public’s interests, stating, “I’m running for them.” Conversely, Teare expressed his desire to minimize the influence of politics within the office.

The episode delves into the outcomes of a recent poll, shedding light on voter preferences in this closely contested race. Additionally, ABC13 explores the Democratic primary race for the U.S. Senate.

James Henson, Director of the UT-Austin Texas Politics Project, highlights immigration and border issues as focal points for voters, particularly among Republicans.

As early voting gets underway ahead of the March 5 Election Day, the primary season takes center stage in the discussion.
