Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards, a former Houston City Council member, are competing in a runoff election for Texas’s 18th Congressional District, a safely Democratic seat left vacant by Representative Sylvester Turner’s death in March 2025.

Houston voters who have gone almost a year without representation in the U.S. House will finally fill the seat in a special runoff election.

Two Democrats are competing to serve out the rest of Sylvester Turner’s term. The winner will have a two-week incumbency advantage before early voting begins in the March primary.

With Paxton campaigning for U.S. Senate, there will be a new Texas Attorney General. This race sees two state Senators -- Joan Huffman and Mayes Middleton -- plus U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, and former Justice Department attorney Aaron Reitz all vying for the position.

A Democrat won a state legislative special election in a district that President Trump carried by 17 percentage points, unnerving Republicans in Texas and beyond.
