Why should you vote in the upcoming
March 3, 2026 Primary Election?
You should vote in a primary election because it’s your shot to pick the candidates who’ll represent your views in the general election—before the options get locked in. Primaries decide who carries your party’s flag, and since turnout’s usually low (often 20% or less of registered voters), your vote packs a bigger punch than in November.
It’s also where real ideological battles happen. If you care about steering your party, whether toward pragmatism, principle, or something else, primaries are your leverage. Plus, in places like our Texas House District 5, where the general election is a Republican lock, the primary is the real contest. Our current representative’s 2024 primary win over two challengers basically sealed his seat.
