On November 6, 2018, El Paso County will elect a new member of the Texas House of Representatives, a new county judge and two county commissioners. El Pasoans will also elect five state representatives and four city council members.
The national, state and county elections are partisan, and the city council election is non-partisan (there is no primary election for the city, but if no candidate wins a majority there will be a run-off election). The city and county officials elected will serve four year terms, and the state representatives and Congressperson will serve two year terms.
There are several open races, as the incumbent member of Congress, Beto O'Rourke, a Democrat, is running for the Senate against Ted Cruz, and the incumbent county judge, Veronica Escobar, is running for Congress. Incumbent county commissioners David Stout (Precinct 2), a Democrat, and Andrew Haggerty (Precinct 4), a Republican, are eligible for re-election. The five state representatives (all Democrats), Cesar Blanco, Mary Gonzalez, Joe Moody, Lina Ortega and Joe Pickett, are eligible for re-election.
City council districts 1, 5, 6, and 8 will have elections in 2018. Michiel Noe, District 5 incumbent, is term limited and cannot run again. District 1 incumbent, Peter Svarzbein, District 6 incumbent, Claudia Ordaz, and Cissy Lizarraga, District 8 incumbent, are eligible for re-election.
