Election Results: Dallas County State Rep. Morgan Meyer holds off challenger in GOP primary

The primary features incumbent State Rep. Morgan Meyer fending off Republican challenger Barry Wernick.

DALLAS — Incumbent State Rep. Morgan Meyer held off challenger Barry Wernick in his re-election bid in the Texas House District 108 Republican primary.

Meyer earned 51% of the vote to Wernick's 49%. House District 108 includes parts of Dallas and University Park.

Meyer had faced opposition from some Republican leaders after acting as a House Manager during the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. 

But ads featuring Gov. Greg Abbott have thrown their support behind Meyer.

With only two candidates, it was a tight race -- Meyer led by about 500 votes.

The winner of this primary will go on to face their Democratic opponent on Election Day Nov. 5.
