Jessica Cisneros announced Monday she will request a recount in the hard-fought Democratic primary runoff against U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, after she finished 281 votes behind him.

Democratic congressional candidate Jessica Cisneros speaks at a “Meet the Candidates” event hosted by the Webb County Democratic Party in Laredo on Feb. 16, 2022., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.

The recount announcements came shortly after the Texas Democratic Party certified its primary runoff results, confirming the margins for Cuellar and Vallejo that counties finalized last week. Cuellar has already declared victory twice. He first did on election night, which he emerged from with a 177-vote lead. And then he did it again after counties finished canvassing their results last week, giving him the 281-vote lead.

The recounts mean it will be at least weeks before an undisputed winner emerges in each runoff. Any runoff candidate can request a recount as long as their margin is less than 10% of the number of votes received by their opponent. The deadline to request a recount is 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Matthew McConaughey calls for 'gun responsibility' in op-ed'Business as usual isn't working.' Matthew McConaughey penned an op-ed calling for 'gun responsibility' nearly two weeks after a mass shooting put his hometown at the center of the debate over gun control legislation.⁠ No knowledge Matthew McConaughey claims to be a theorist, inventor, blogger, or poet (as I am). Quite against the odds the shooting was at his elementary school 1200+ incorporated cities/towns in Texas 19,502 incorporated towns/cities in USA It happens in his hometown ? Odd. I recently learned about Switzerland. A majority of their citizens own Assault Rifles. It only took ONE mass shooting to pass a Common Sense Gun Control bill. They register their guns. Their culture take firearm safety seriously. Our problem is too many people here are just dumb. If people have the right to own a firearm, and support that right for others, then they also have the responsibility to do everything in their power to ensure those firearms NEVER need to be used.
