Repub County Chairs tap Dustin Burrows to replace Charles Perry in open HD83 seat

Unclear if local Democrats will field a candidate

From KCBD in Lubbock:

“Representatives of the Republican Party from the seven counties in House District 83 have voted to nominate Lubbock attorney Dustin Burrows to replace Representative Charles Perry on the November ballot as the Republican nominee for state representative for District 83.

The process was initiated by Charles Perry's resignation from the ballot in order to run for state senate to replace Sen. Robert Duncan. Duncan resigned his seat in July in order to take the job of Chancellor of Texas Tech University.

Republican Chairmen from six counties and the delegate chosen to represent the portion of Lubbock that is in District 83 met in Brownfield Thursday and interviewed applicants.”
