CC0 Creative Commons

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.
