Primary Elections in Collin County
We asked local candidates to share why they’re running, their priorities and what they hope to accomplish if elected.
All filed candidates were invited to be filmed, but not all participated. Statewide races were not included as these in-person interviews were designed exclusively for candidates in the local races. Uncontested races were omitted to focus on competitive seats. Collin County Votes does not endorse candidates.
