Trey Hunt (D)
Criminal justice reform: we need true rehabilitation and transitional support for the convicted.
Healthcare is a human right. We must expand our current government programs so everyone has access.
Trey Hunt (D)
A 2015 Harvard study found that the number one factor determining if someone will escape poverty is their access to transportation. Public transportation will decongest roads, create quicker commute times, and give our economically struggling neighbors the ability to improve their position.
For those contractors who are not building public transportation vehicles, Trey Hunt will advocate for them to be awarded federal projects to build green technology that can assist in addressing the climate change crisis.
Trey Hunt is employed as a Homeless Outreach Specialist MHMR of Tarrant County, a local government agency assisting our communities to address mental health disorders and treatment. Trey can testify that one of the most significant obstacles for his homeless clients improving their situation is the lack of access to transportation.
As armed conflicts decline, multi-million dollar and billion dollar planes do not benefit our communities directly like new bus routes and decreasing the cost of electricity with renewable energy technologies.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[4]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[5][6][7]

Competitiveness
This section contains data on U.S. House primary election competitiveness in Texas.
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Texas in 2022. Information below was calculated on Jan. 27, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2022, 223 candidates filed to run for Texas’ 38 U.S. House districts, including 143 Republicans, 79 Democrats, and one independent candidate. That’s 5.9 candidates per district, less than the 6.5 candidates per district in 2020 and 5.9 in 2018.
Texas gained two U.S. House districts following the 2020 census. Two members of the U.S. House filed to run for re-election in a different district than the one represented before redistricting: Lloyd Doggett (D) filed in the new 37th District, while Vicente Gonzalez (D) filed in the 34th District seat held by retiring Rep. Filemon Vela (D).
Six districts were open, meaning no incumbent filed to run. In addition to Gonzalez’s and Doggett’s districts, these included the newly-created 38th District and the 1st, 8th, and 30th districts. 1st District incumbent Louie Gohmert (R) filed to run for state attorney general, while incumbents Kevin Brady (R) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D) did not file for re-election.
This was the same number as 2012, the previous post-redistricting cycle, and 2020. There were seven open seats in 2018.
There were 13 incumbents who filed to run in districts without any primary challengers.
Three districts were likely to be won by Republicans because no Democrats filed. There were no districts where the same is true of Democratic candidates.
Fifteen candidates each filed to run in the 15th and 30th Districts, more than any other. Six Democrats and nine Republicans filed in the 15th. Nine Democrats and six Republicans filed in the 30th. Both districts were open.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+12. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 12 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Texas' 12th the 122nd most Republican district nationally.[10]
