AUSTIN — The hotly contested special election for a North Texas Senate seat is headed to a runoff between Republicans Shelley Luther, a Dallas salon owner who made national headlines for defying COVID-19 orders, and state Rep. Drew Springer of Muenster.

Luther finished with a slight edge over Springer in the six-candidate race, and neither got the majority needed to win the seat outright. The pair, who were separated Tuesday by about 164 votes out of more than 68,000 cast, will face off on a later date to be set by Gov. Greg Abbott. The turnout was heavier than expected.

Pretty fricking American to run for office to replace the guy whose policies you disagreed with.

It's pretty goddamned American to run for office after disagreeing with said office.

The commercials for it have been brutal. They both talk about how unconservative the other one is.

I have no idea which one would be better, not my district.

Dallas Observer scratched below the surface:

Is Shelley Luther a Hero or Villain? Why Not Ask Her Wallaby?

Even for Shelley Ann Luther, defiant owner of Salon à la Mode and America’s viral “hero” of the anti-lockdown right, it’s not a good look when …

Your lucrative crowdsourcing site is billed as a spontaneous, grass-roots response to government overreach, but it was set up before you even flouted government orders to keep your North Dallas salon closed temporarily.

You state you’re two months behind on your mortgage, but in the past year took a healthy divorce settlement and bought a luxury SUV to drive to your $500,000, five-acre ranch complete with guest house, five-stall barn and bevy of exotic animals.

You cry on the jailhouse steps to Fox News host Sean Hannity while knowing you already collected an $18,000 emergency federal small business assistance loan, you get monthly child support from divorce No. 1 and more than $2,000 a month from divorce No. 2, and have half a million bucks waiting with your name on it in a GoFundMe account.

You claim to struggle with “panic” and “feeding my kids,” but recently took a Caribbean cruise in the middle of a global pandemic.
