Two Democratic candidates for Precinct 2 on the Culberson County Commissioners Court are headed for a runoff election on May 22. Incumbent Raul Rodriguez, who has been representing Precinct 2 since 2015, faces challenger Joe Mike Balcazar.
In a three-person race in March, Rodriguez fell just short of the 50 percent needed to secure another term. There is no Republican challenger for the post in the November General Election.
The Democratic race for governor between Lupe Valdez and Andrew White is the only statewide runoff this year.
