Texas 2020 Elections

John Cornyn and MJ Hegar's race is competitive in Texas, but they're keeping a low profile compared to 2018's Senate contest

Incumbent John Cornyn is pitching himself as a "steady hand on the wheel." Democratic challenger MJ Hegar says that hand is driving Texas toward a cliff.

U.S. Senator John Cornyn speaks at The American Legion Boys State ceremony on the south steps of the University of Texas at Austin tower on June 14, 2019.
