🗳 EARLY VOTING REMINDER:

You can early vote TODAY (Sunday) from 1–7 p.m.

➡️ At the top of the ballot is the race for governor.

Greg Abbott has been is currently the longest-serving sitting governor in the U.S. If he wins this primary and the November general election, he would become the longest-serving governor in Texas history.

Several Republicans are challenging Abbott in this primary, but his biggest contender is Pete “Doc” Chambers.

📍Locally, Greenwood voters will help decide:

• The next Midland County judge
• County commissioner and justice of the peace for Precinct 2

➡️ There are also several statewide offices on the ballot including: lieutenant governor, attorney general, railroad commissioner (regulates oil & gas industry and utility companies), comptroller, land commissioner (manages state lands and veterans’ benefits) and ag commissioner.

➡️ Republican voters will also see 10 propositions covering a range of issues — from restrictions on selling groundwater to banning Sharia law in Texas and requiring Bible and prayer in schools. These propositions are non-binding— they serve as a voter survey to gauge where Republican voters stand on certain policy questions.

The democratic ballot has several propositions listed, as well.

💰Greenwood ISD is facing serious financial challenges. They had to take out a loan to make payroll and may have to consider layoffs. We spoke with the district’s CFO and superintendent to talk about what’s behind the shortfall and what it could mean moving forward.

TEMPORARY STOP SIGN GOING UP AT ECR 120 & FM 1379 🛑🚧

We just reached out to the county about the missing stop sign. They told us the intersection falls under TxDOT’s purview and said they had already notified them.

We then contacted TxDOT to ask how long it would take to get a crew out. They said a temporary stop sign should be in place within the next half hour.

Thank you to the concerned mother who posted about it on the Grapevine — her post caught a lot of people’s attention, including ours. Stay safe out there.
