With most of the local Uvalde County races having been decided during the Republican Primary Elections earlier this year in March, there were a handful of races that were decided Tuesday, November 6th on Election Night.

During the November 54th General Elections, former Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin Jr. (R-TX) faced off against Cecilia Castellano (D-TX) vying for a seat currently held by Uvaldean Tracy O. King (D-TX).  McLaughlin Jr. was joined by over 100 supporters at an invitation only election watch party at Broadway 830 on Election Night.

As the statewide votes came in on Election Night, it became clear early on that McLaughlin secured about 60% votes to secure a sound lead over his opponent Castellano. Source: Texas Secretary of State
