Voters head to the polls Tuesday for the Texas primaries. Among the big races on the ballot: Texas Governor.
Republican voters will choose between incumbent Governor Rick Perry, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and activist Debra Medina. Democratic voters will chose from among seven candidates, including former Houston Mayor Bill White and local businessman Farouk Shami.
Several U.S. and State seats are also on the ballot. Nearly half of the state's 32 congressmen face primary opposition from within their own party. This includes Democrat Shelia Jackson Lee. She's held the 18th District seat since 1994. Jarvis Johnson and Sean Roberts are running against her.
Other statewide races on the ballot include: Lt. Governor, Agriculture Commissioner and Railroad Commissioner.
If no one wins a majority of the vote, a runoff between the top two finishers will take place next month.
The winners of the primary election will face off in the general election in the Fall.
Republicans are also voting on five non-binding resolutions. These include requiring voters to provide photo id at the polls, controlling government growth, cutting federal income taxes, permitting the use of the word God and the display of the Ten Commandments at public gatherings and in public places and make women who are about to have abortions view sonograms.
Polls close at 7 p.m.
