Review of the day

The excerpts below were compiled from issue #10 of The Tap, which was published on April 4, 2016. READ THE FULL VERSION HERE.

State

  • North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem (R) narrowly won the Republican nomination for governor at the GOP convention, defeating State Rep. Rick Becker and businessman Doug Burgum. It took two rounds of voting for delegates to reach a majority decision. Burgum, who received the fewest votes, has stated he will continue to run in the June 8 primary. In North Dakota, the winner of the nomination receives the endorsement of the party, but may still face challengers on the primary ballot. The race is expected to be a Republican victory. North Dakota is one of 23 Republican trifectas.

Local

  • A special runoff election was held in Laredo, Texas, for the District 2 seat on the city council. Vidal Rodriguez narrowly defeated Jose Perez III with over 53 percent of the vote. The seat became vacant when incumbent Esteban Rangel resigned in order to run for the Webb County Commission. Rodriguez and Perez were the top vote recipients out of the five-candidate field in the general election held on February 13, 2016. Since no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote, a runoff election was scheduled. Laredo is the 81st-largest city in the United States, and it will hold regular city council elections for four of seven seats later this year. The general election date for the regular election has not yet been determined.
