U.S. congressional candidate Mark Teixeira and Texas state Rep. Wes Virdell will appear in Bandera Thursday, Sept. 24, for an event focused on the upcoming election for Texas' 21st Congressional District.

The event is scheduled from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Wayback, aka the former Longhorn, 1307 Main St. in Bandera.

Organizers told the Bulletin the event is not a fundraiser or a traditional political rally, but rather an informal, town hall-style opportunity for residents to meet the candidates, ask questions and hear from them ahead of the November election.
