Two candidates are facing off for the Republican nomination for U.S. House District 38 on May 26 after a crowded March primary.

The breakdown: Jon Bonck and Shelly Dezevallos received 47.73% and 18.62% of the total votes, respectively, during the March 3 primary election, sending the race, which had 10 candidates at the start, to a runoff election.

Early voting for the runoff election runs through May 22, and election day is May 26. Residents can view a sample ballot by entering information through the Harris County Clerk's Office.

What voters need to know: Community Impact reached out to candidates ahead of the primaries to provide a side-by-side, equitable resource for Texas voters to review candidates' perspectives as they prepare to head to the polls.

Candidates were asked to keep responses under 50 words, answer the questions provided and avoid attacking opponents. Answers may have been edited or cut to adhere to those guidelines, or for style and clarity.

Harris County Precinct 3 announced early May that county staff will turn approximately 1.5 miles of dirt path along Faulkey Gully in the Cypress Creek area into an asphalt hike and bike trail.

In a nutshell: The trail will loop around the north side of Faulkey Gully from Guernsey Drive to Spring Cypress Road, according to Precinct 3. Additionally, the path will connect to an existing trail network within Northwest Harris County MUD No. 5, which spans more than 5 miles.

More details: The project will also add a new underpass at North Eldridge Parkway and a new bridge connecting pedestrians and cyclists to an existing 1.9-mile stretch of asphalt trail that extends to Lakewood Forest Drive.

Construction is expected to wrap up by the first quarter of 2027, Precinct 3 staff said. Faulkey Gully MUD contributed $1.6 million to the $4.7 million project, and Precinct 3 will cover the remaining expense.

Some context: The development is part of Precinct 3's Parks and Trails Master Plan, which Commissioner Tom Ramsey's office debuted in 2023.
