Texas House candidate Susan Wright spotlights late husband's legacy, Trump's support, in runoff
Fox News
Susan Wright says her late husband always took his constituents' concerns to Washington and “that’s the legacy I want to continue.” Rep. Ron Wright died from COVID-19 in February and his widow, a longtime GOP activist, came in first in a field of 23 candidates this past weekend in a special election to fill her husband’s seat in Texas’ 6th Congressional District.
In interviews this week with Fox News Digital and on "Fox and Friends," Susan Wright highlighted that "Ron was very active with constituents and he spent a lot of time here in the district with them, listening to them and taking their concerns to Washington and acting on that, and so I just want to continue to do that." Wright won 19% of the vote in Saturday’s election to advance to a runoff with state Rep. Jake Ellzey, a Navy combat pilot veteran and fellow Republican who enjoys the backing of former longtime GOP Gov. Rick Perry. Ellzey came in second with 14% of the vote.More Related News
