Boehm is out.
Dr. Henry Boehm Jr., who unintentionally (and narrowly) won the Democratic primary in SD-18, is officially pulling his name off the November ballot, leaving state Rep. Glenn Hegar Jr., R-Katy and Libertarian Roy Wright II as the only contestants. Boehm tried to take his name off the ballot before the primary. He couldn't, so he didn't campaign. He won anyhow, and then said he wouldn't campaign for the general election. Now he's written a letter to Secretary of State Roger Williams, withdrawing. He cited his medical practice, recent surgeries of a business associate and of his son, and his other activities. He's all the way out of it.
Hegar beat two other Republicans to get out of his March primary. If he beats Wright — and no Libertarian has won a Senate race in Texas so far — he'll succeed Sen. Ken Armbrister, D-Victoria, who didn't seek reelection.
