A Tarrant Dem exited a Texas House race, then won. Now she plans to take office.
A North Texas Democrat who won the race for House District 93 despite suspending her campaign amid eligibility questions related to a conviction says she is qualified for office and plans to assume the elected position. Ericka Lomick won Nov. 3 elections for the Fort Worth area district , defeating Republican Alan Blaylock, a former Fort Worth City Council member. She left the race in the weeks before Election Day for a full term beginning in January and a partial term to fill the remainder of former Rep. Nate Schatzline’s current term, after he left the office early and didn’t seek reelection. He went on to work as a senior advisor for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Lomick’s campaign cited “questions” around her eligibility as the reason for the campaign’s suspension. Specific circumstances that would disqualify her from serving weren’t mentioned, but the announcement followed a news release from a political action committee claiming Lomick has a felony record. Given the timing of her exit, Lomick’s name remained on the ballot for the midterm election and special election. She won more votes than Blaylock in both instances. Federal court records out of North Carolina show that an Ericka Lomick was convicted

We are trying to get to Jerry’s World,” Dallas Lincoln head coach Randall Johnson said. “This is the first game we have got to set a tone, and we’ve got to get to the next round.” The Tigers made an immediate statement, scoring on a 75-yard kickoff return by wide receiver Jaylan Bellard. A successful two-point conversion gave Lincoln an 8-0 lead less than 20 seconds into the game. Lincoln continued to exploit Southwest’s defense, adding a 2-yard rushing touchdown to extend its lead to 16-0 with 11:36 remaining in the first quarter.
