AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Republicans were competing in a runoff Tuesday for the office once held by Tom DeLay, former House majority leader.
In the Houston-area congressional district, Pete Olson led Shelley Sekula Gibbs in early returns for the chance to run against first-term Democratic Rep. Nick Lampson. Gibbs temporarily held the office after DeLay resigned his seat in 2006 following his indictment in a campaign finance case.
In California, two Democrats, two Republicans and a Green Party candidate were in the running for the San Francisco-area congressional seat held by Rep. Tom Lantos before his death in February.
