KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

There are big races in Texas – especially the US Senate race between Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Beto O’Rourke - this election cycle.

But as theTexas Tribune reports, there are plenty of other races to keep an eye on as election day draws near.

Including several other U.S. Senate and U..S House seats and of course the governor’s race between incumbent Republican Greg Abbott, Democrat Lupe Valdez and Libertarian Mark Tippetts.

Other races Texans should keep in mind before heading to the polls include the lieutenant governor, attorney general and comptroller races, as well as the ag, land and railroad commissioner races.

There are also the myriad legislative races to keep an eye on.

Three of the Texas Supreme Court and three Texas Court of Criminal Appeals seats are also up for grabs this election cycle; as are seven state board of education seats.
