Bonck wins House election for Hunt’s Texas seat

Republican Jon Bonck is projected to win the open Texas House race to replace outgoing Rep. Wesley Hunt (R), according to Decision Desk HQ. 

The GOP candidate defeated Democratic opponent Melissa McDonough in the race to represent the state’s 38th District. He notched just more than 51 percent of the vote to McDonough’s 47 percent, as of Wednesday afternoon.
