There was one last state House race to be filled for this session, the special election runoff to fill the District 29 seat vacated due to the passing of Pearland Republican Glenda Dawson, who died in September. There wasn’t any crucial party swing in play here, as both runoff qualifiers were Republicans. Tonight’s results:

Mike O’Day 3,555 votes 57.23%
Randy Weber 2,657 votes 42.77%
