Two jailed Democrat lawmakers are hoping to be elected while in prison. For one, it is likely he will begin his term in office from behind bars.

Texas lawmaker Ron Reynolds, a Texas state representative seeking re-election, is currently imprisoned in Montgomery County Jail. He was convicted of five misdemeanors related to misusing his personal injury law practice, KPRC reported.
