2026 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the March 3 Republican primary as a battleground election. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Incumbent John Cornyn (R), Wesley Hunt (R), Ken Paxton (R), and 10 other candidates are running in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Texas on March 3, 2026. The filing deadline is December 8, 2025. As of November 2025, Cornyn, Hunt, and Paxton led in polling, fundraising, endorsements, and media attention.
The Texas Tribune's Gabby Birenbaum described the primary as "expensive and brutal. Cornyn, a 23-year veteran of the Senate, has been in hot water with the Republican base over his efforts to pass a bipartisan gun safety bill in 2022 and past comments casting doubt on Trump’s political durability."[2] Roll Call's Nathan L. Gonzales said the race is"an example of how data can be presented to paint whatever picture you want to see...Trump remains a wild card. His support is often the difference maker in Republican primaries, but he hasn’t made a decision in this race."[3]
If no candidate receives more than 50% of the primary vote, then the top two finishers will advance to a runoff on May 26, 2026. Writing after Hunt joined the race in October 2025, the Associated Press' Thomas Beaumont said that "Hunt’s entry into the race raises the potential of a runoff for the GOP nomination."[4]
Cornyn was first elected to the Senate in 2002. He earlier served as state attorney general and on the Texas Supreme Court. Cornyn said he had delivered for Texas while in office and was running for re-election "so President Trump and I can pick-up where we left off."[5] The Texas Tribune's Owen Dahlkamp described Cornyn's strategy as "going all in on emphasizing his support for Trump — something he has been previously wary to do — to court the MAGA base that will be key to winning."[6] Cornyn's campaign website says he has a "more than 99.2% voting record with President Trump — higher than Ted Cruz."[7] Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R) and the National Border Patrol Council endorsed Cornyn.
Hunt has represented the 38th Congressional District since 2022. He is an eight-year veteran of the U.S. Army and a former loan officer. The Texas Tribune's Gabby Birenbaum described Hunt's strategy as "pressing the case that he would carry stronger appeal than Cornyn among the MAGA-dominated primary base, while bringing none of Paxton’s political baggage to the general election."[2] Hunt says he is running because "nothing is more worth fighting for than our great country and our Texas values."[8] U.S. Rep. Eli Crane (R) endorsed Hunt.
Paxton has served as Texas Attorney General since 2015. He was also a member of the Texas House for ten years and of the Texas Senate for two. The Texas Tribune's Jasper Scherer described Paxton's run as "the latest flashpoint in a power struggle between the Texas GOP’s hardline, socially conservative wing — which views Paxton as a standard-bearer — and the Cornyn-aligned, business-minded Republican old guard."[9] Paxton's campaign website says that both "President Trump and Ken Paxton have been targeted in politically motivated witch hunts because there’s nothing that scares the establishment more than courageous conservatives who never back down from standing up for the American people."[10] U.S. Reps. Lance Gooden (R) and Troy Nehls (R) endorsed Paxton.
Also running in the primary are Andrew Alvarez (R), Virgil Bierschwale (R), Alexander Duncan (R), Ronald Evans (R), Matthew Elliot Kelley (R), Gulrez Khan (R), Rennie Mann (R), Tony Schmoker (R), Andrew Trakas (R), and Leo Wyatt (R).
As of November 2025, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales, and Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Likely Republican. In the 2024 election, incumbent Ted Cruz (R) defeated Colin Allred (D) 53%–45%. In 2020, Cornyn defeated M.J. Hegar (D) 54%–44%.

Polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[11] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[12] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Campaign website
Alvarez's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Mandates are dividing the country It's difficult now days to go on social media and NOT see someone getting accosted for not wearing a mask or providing proof of vaccination. As a road warrior, I find myself in airports nearly every week. I can tell the difference in opinions by the way the gate agents or flight attendants talk about masks: "FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES A MASK WORN COVERING YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE" or "And guys, you know we need to wear a mask so I'm asking..." Companies are firing people because they won't get vaccinated. Let's be clear, the vaccine doesn't stop the spread. The CDC even states that fully vaccinated people will still get sick. I personally know an entire family of people who are vaccinated, wear masks, and they are currently all at home with COVID. I personally have sat next to someone who was infected, we shared fries, cheersed our drinks for a job well done and I didn't get sick. Who knows. BBC - Coronavirus Outbreak in Antarctica: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-59848160 What we see with the vaccine that no one is talking about is it is actually HELPING the spread. Any "pro vaccine mandater" when challened with "it doesn't prevent you from spreading it" will tell you "it's so you don't get as sick" as do the CDC and vaccine manufacturers. SO, if it lessens the effects of the virus, people may be walking around with fewer symptoms, brushing it off as allergies, and spreading the virus. The vaccine doesn't stop the spread and mandating them is ridiculous and pointless. We as Americans have become so divided that we resort to physical violence over these mandates. We as Americans have lost our jobs, our livelihoods, the way we support ourselves and families over these mandates. If masks were effective, we would have stopped having to wear them a year and half ago. If the vaccines were effective, we wouldn't have all these variants. These tyrannical executive orders given by Joe Biden as advocated by Dr. Anthony Faucci are potentially just the start of the executive rule we fled from Brittan and potentially the beginning of the erosion of other constitutional rights such as our 1st and 2nd amendments. They provide that all powerful precedence which is used as a pathway by overreaching politicians. This is why I'm asking for your vote so we can put an end to power hungry, career politicians. We need the People to represent the people. We need someone to fight to Keep Texas & America Working and our Families Safe BAN Bank NSF Fees Here's something you won't hear politicians talking about and some will call "less than conservative". They won't talk about this because it's not a buzz word filled topic. The fact of the matter is, nearly every working class person has been affected by a bank's Non Sufficient Fund Fee at one point in time or another. You know, that $32 fee you get charged for not having money in your account. Now days, that usually comes from an autopayment we forgot about or just didn't have the funds to cover. Banks already make money off of free checking accounts by investing their customer's money. They are also insured by a federal government program put in place in the 1930s by Congress called the FDIC. YET, they charge you again. Many times, the entity trying to withdraw the funds, will attempt multiple times thus causing multiple $32 charges on your account. Needless to say, a diet coke could end up costing $70 or more. Part of the 5th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States says " nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice.." While this is targeted primarily towards criminal offenses, this could also be used for bank NSF fees since technically, one can be prosecuted for not paying for products or services. Most providers will also charge a fee for non sufficient funds as well on top of the banks. Rich politicians aren't affected by this but the working class of people they represent are. When elected, I will draft a proposal to ban NSF charges and utilize the FDIC to also protect the banks against these as well. Fuel Prices My travels take me all across the country and I see fuel prices all around. I've seen them raise significantly with the current administration. Normally, fuel prices that are higher than normal are a good thing for the US Economy as they ensure OUR oil workers are working and they usually regulate themselves back down. The halt of drilling leases on federal land has crippled our economy by significantly slowing down our oil workers. Stopping the Keystone pipeline also halted many high paying jobs and put a huge question mark on our energy independent future. Now we are relying on imports from Iran, OPEC, and soon to be Russia. Where as before we, as a country were a net-exporter, we are now a net-importer. Basic economics can tell you this costs more. As your representative, I promise to fight for our fuel independence, our fuel prices, and our fuel workers. Pro 2nd Amendment A well regulated militia being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms Shall not be infringed. I fully believe in and support our constitutional rights, including the 2nd Amendment. Plain and simple. Immigration A good friend told me "because of your last name, you'll have to talk about immigration," and well not only are they right but it needs to be addressed anyway. We have a problem. Plain and simply, and you can't change my mind. We live in a land of immigrants. We were built on the back of people from all over the world. We are able to issue work visas relatively quickly, or at least have been able to. A background check is done on these applicants and they are either approved or denied. Why does it take so long for someone who also tries to better their and their family's lives by coming over to get the access to such. With today's technology a person should be able to be vetted as a viable contributor to our workforce and society in general without taking years or having to risk their lives crossing dangerous terrain. A person should be able to apply, get approved, and start working and contributing to society way sooner than is the current norm. The security portion of this talk needs to be addressed as well. I do believe the border wall should be completed. Those wishing to come to the US should be able to through secure points of entry, I have personally seen neighborhoods at the border where entire houses have been removed because of fear of cartels and other violence that occurs on the border. I have also witnessed a gun fight including cartels and border patrol while there. Having said that, the border needs to be secured. We shouldn't allow people to simply come over at any location they please. So in essence, we need easy, fast, and secure immigration. Abortion This is a touchy subject to many and there are extreme views of this topic. I'll start off by saying my standpoint on this is not a simple one and not a single point answer. Plain and simply, I am against the act in general. I don't like it and I think it's wrong. However, I feel in some instances it may be necessary and in those instances a woman should have the option to have an abortion as an option. That conversation and decision should be between her and her medical care provider. Therefore, I would not vote on any legislation that would restrict that access. However, funding of such should not be allocated from citizens. Those who feel strongly, especially for religious reasons, against abortion should not have their tax dollars going to fund abortions. Legal Marijuana I believe there are many medicinal uses for marijuana including everything from pain relief to helping with appetite for those who suffer from eating disorders. I also believe adults who are old enough to recreationally consume alcohol should be able to recreationally consume cannabis. This will greatly reduce monetary costs and the costs of human lives involved in the current illegal sale and transport of this product. As the bulk of the product being illegally smuggled across our border, this can also reduce the illegal immigration issue at our border.[16] |
