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.”
