Her revamped website, christyholstege.com, shows information regarding the run.
News Channel 3's Peter Daut is speaking with Christy Holstege today and will have an in-depth interview with her on News Channel 3 today.
News Channel 3's Peter Daut reached out to Assemblymember Chad Mayes for comment. In a text, Mayes said there was still uncertainty as to what the districts are going to look like as the Redistricting Commission is completing their work. "There could be a lot of dominoes that fall once the new lines are drawn or a lot could stay the same. If someone wants to ready themselves to serve - should opportunities arise - they need to start now."
