Texas Constitutional Amendments Officially in Effect: November 2017 Election Wrap-up

It's nighttime on November 30, last day of the month during this off-year U.S. election 2017.

Elections were Tuesday, November 7, and featured gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey, as well as state legislative elections in both houses of the New Jersey Legislature and in the lower house of the Virginia legislature.

Numerous citizen initiatives, mayoral races, and a variety of other local elections also occurred. Six special elections to the United States House of Representatives had already taken place, with one Senate seat still to be filled. San Antonio, Texas mayoral incumbent Independent Ivy Taylor was defeated for re-election by fellow Independent Ron Nirenberg. Also in Texas, seven constitutional amendments were proposed, and passed by large margins. Governor Greg Abbott affirmed every one by closing hour today.

None of the six House seats that were up for special elections changed party hands. The Democrats picked up the governorship in New Jersey while holding the one in Virginia.

As of now, potential representative candidates of Texas have several days-- until December 11-- left to file for office elections 2018.
