1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,200
Well, as we shift into this year's election
cycle, we're

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,520
reminded that the May runoff is around the
bend.

3
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:08,880
As two Democratic challengers eye a chance for
retiring state

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,560
Senator Drew Springer's seat.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,440
Dylan Jimenez spoke with two candidates ahead
of the runoff

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,400
election day.

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,000
Dylan.

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,240
It was a three-person race back in March.

9
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:20,800
Michael Braxton and Del Frey over the top two
for

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,120
the runoff and vi for votes to be the lone

11
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,600
candidate on the Democratic ticket in
November.

12
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,720
It's been an emphasis of campaigning for
Senate District 30

13
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,240
Democrat candidates Michael Braxton and Del
Frey, hearing every voice

14
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,760
in the 11th county district.

15
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,840
I visit all my counties.

16
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Braxton's biggest learning experience for West
Texoma is water security.

17
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,280
I'm focusing more on that because if we can't
get

18
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,120
any water, we'll be in, you know, kind of game

19
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,520
over.

20
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,040
Both also eye property taxes and border
security as top

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,880
issues heading into 2025.

22
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,600
When you can put out some good information and
people

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,400
can can understand the good information, you
make it clear

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,360
what you want.

25
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,520
So I.'m sure our fellow precinct chairs

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,520
in all of our counties are aware of my race

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,280
And we're just taking it from there.

28
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,640
Vying for votes as a Democratic nominee for
Senate, District

29
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,280
Thirty

30
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,320
