The next special election will be the TX Senate 19 Runoff on September 18th.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Is there a set election dates for the two vacant Nevada State Senate districts or are they just going to the general election?

Ballotpedia doesn't list a date, so I assume they'll remain empty for the rest of the term.

Gallego will win, but I'm not sure why he's going down from Congress to state senate.

Because he lost in both 2014 and 2016.

Wow. Republicans are going to flip a Clinton +11 SD in Texas. Blue wave?
