Governor Greg Abbott is scheduled to visit Victoria today to participate in a public meet and greet event supporting Mayor Jeff Bauknight’s campaign for the Texas House of Representatives.
Those who would like to attend are kindly requested to RSVP for the event. The gathering will occur from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Victoria College Emerging Technology Complex on Lone Tree Road. Mayor Bauknight declared his candidacy in November and recently received an endorsement from Governor Abbott on January 16th.
In addition to Bauknight, three other contenders are competing for the nomination in the March 5th Republican Primary for House District 30. These candidates are Bret Baldwin, Vanessa F. Hicks-Callaway, and AJ Louderback, all appearing on the Republican ballot.
On the Democratic side, Stephanie R. Bassham is running uncontested in the primary race. The meet and greet event on Thursday is open to the public without any entrance fee, although registration for the event is required.
