Elections
2012
Caraway is running in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Texas' 30th District. She faces incumbent Eddie Bernice Johnson and Taj Clayton in the May 29 Democratic primary. Travis Washington, Jr. is seeking election on the Republican ticket. The general election takes place on November 6, 2012.
Opponent targeted
Incumbent Eddie Bernice Johnson has been targeted by the Super PAC Campaign for Primary Accountability.[4] The Houston Chronicle reports that the PAC has targeted Johnson because she is a long-standing incumbent, her constituents are dissatisfied, and there is a capable challenger.[5] The PAC's efforts will benefit Caraway and fellow primary challenger Taj Clayton.[6]
2010
