Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick also faces several challengers for his seat. Todd M. Bullis, Aaron Sorrells, Trayce Bradford, Daniel Miller and Zack Vance aim to replace Patrick in the role. In the Democratic primary, Carla Brailey, Michelle Beckley and Mike Collier face each other for the position.

Voters will also cast a ballot for attorney general, commissioner of the general land office, commissioner of agriculture, railroad commissioner, district attorney and the State Board of Education District 12 position.
