Kristin Hook (D)
I believe all Texans should have access to affordable healthcare and childcare. We need to fix our broken healthcare system once and for all and help parents get the childcare support they need.
Every Texan deserves an equal voice in the democratic process. We need to expand voting rights and get the corrupting influence of money out of politics.
Bob King (L)
Government is far too intrusive into our personal liberties. Stay out of our bedrooms, stay out of our medical decisions, stay out of our educational decisions.
Enough interventionism! Time to again speak softly and carry a big stick. Both parties favor getting involved, either directly or by proxy, in too many wars.
Kristin Hook (D)
Bob King (L)
I am not a secessionist, and I do not favor the red vs. blue national divorce idea. But we must acknowledge that either of those is better than the second civil war the two major parties are driving us towards.
I favor a renewed commitment to Federalism: let California be California, let Texas be Texas, and let citizens vote with their feet. Federalism is already in the US Constitution, enshrined in the Tenth Amendment, and it is the solution to the problem. We must find ways to restore it as the least worst way to resolve our societal rancor.
Bob King (L)
In my life I have my parents, of course, and three other mentors:
1. My high school football coach, Oscar Cripps, who taught me never to quit, and not to care who gets the credit. 2. The CEO of Seagull Energy, Barry Galt, who gave me my biggest break in life when he made me his corporate treasurer at age 29.
3. My dear friend Wright Moody, who helped to guide me through a career change in my early 40s away from the oil and gas industry and towards a more spiritually rewarding career in nonprofit service.

A clearly articulated set of principles that would guide every decision and every vote.
A balance of business sector and nonprofit sector experience.
I have been a taxpayer for over 40 years.
Bob King (L)
2. To advocate for the minimum government intrusion into the economic and personal liberties of the people. 3. To know the Constitution and to abide by it, even when its restrictions work against one's objectives; and to jealously guard the powers and prerogatives of the legislative branch from usurpations by other branches, most especially by the executive branch. 4. To diligently serve on assigned committees and to exercise competent oversight of government operations. 5. To negotiate and ultimately to approve a budget that forces the government to live within its means.
6. To provide constituent services that assist citizens of the district in their efforts to interact with massive, bloated, inefficient, ineffective and politicized government agencies and bureaus.

It is an easy read for those who have seen the two movies, but it has so much rich detail that the movies never get into. It is endlessly fascinating and can be read for entertainment over and over just as the films can be enjoyed over and over.
While Don Vito Corleone is a criminal, he has a code of honor that can still be respected. While his son Michael has all the intellect in the world, he lacks the humanity that his father showed.
It's a fantastic exposition on the duality of such characters. Nobody is all good or all bad.

Bob King (L)
The House is noisy and rancorous and even uncivil at times, but it is where 435 representatives must come together to do the nation's business.
In recent years, with the failure to pass a budget and the constant continuing resolutions, they haven't been doing their jobs. No congressman should get paid a nickel without the House passing a budget and all of its attendant appropriations, on a department by department basis. No more continuing resolutions.
Bob King (L)
But if we can judge by results, NO, a Congress full of long-tenured political pros certainly does not seem to be getting the job done.
The experience that I think is more important: 40 years of being a taxpayer.
Bob King (L)
That's not something the Republicans or Democrats want you to focus on, because they collectively gave us this problem. It's worse than bad economic policy -- it is sinful for one generation to steal the wealth of its children and grandchildren the way we have. We must take drastic action to shrink the government, and do it soon, before our dollars are worthless. It's just a matter of time.
The second great challenge is the degradation of our national discourse. The Red tribe and the Blue tribe hate one another and it's getting worse. Both sides' answer to how we end the national rancor is for them to cram their ideologies down the throats of the other side.
If we want to avert a second civil war (which of course would look nothing like the first), we need to find a way to tone it down. The Constitution has the answer, Federalism, but we haven't been following it. Let Texas be Texas and let California be California. We need to bolster the 10th Amendment to make this happen.
Bob King (L)
But since we have the gerrymandered districts, we DO need term limits.
If elected, I agree not to serve more than three terms in the House of Representatives.

Unfortunately, we have grown tolerant of government using its power to imprison us to coerce us into paying taxes, voluntarily or otherwise. This abuse of power is wrong, and that wrong must be minimized to the smallest extent possible.
What is taxed is discouraged. At present, we are taxing income, which is tantamount to taxing productivity. If we have to tax something, it would be less bad if we taxed consumption, which is avoidable by consumer choice, and secondarily if we taxed inheritance, which is unearned. Again, all taxation is confiscatory and wrong, but some taxes are less damaging to the economy than others.
Bob King (L)
Second, the House should investigate the waste of taxpayer money. Waste must be ferreted out and must count against future appropriations for any department or function of government.
Lastly, the House must be judicious in the use of its investigative powers. In recent years, both parties have been responsible for the misuse of investigative power for partisan purposes. While true wrongdoing in high office is scandalous and must be investigated, the politicization of investigations leads to an unnecessary and corrosive environment that prevents factions from coming together to resolve issues for the benefit of the people.

- 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]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Texas in 2024. Information below was calculated on 1/29/2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2024, 164 candidates filed to run for Texas’ 38 U.S. House districts, including 63 Democrats and 101 Republicans. That was 4.3 candidates per district, the lowest number since 2016, when 3.5 candidates ran.
In 2022, the first election after the number of congressional districts in Texas increased from 36 to 38, 5.8 candidates ran per district. In 2020, 6.4 candidates ran, and 5.8 candidates ran in 2018.
The 164 candidates who ran in 2024 were also the fewest total number to run since 2016, when 127 candidates ran. One hundred candidates ran for Texas’ then-36 districts in 2014, the fewest in the decade, while 231 ran in 2020, the decade-high.
Three seats were open. That was the fewest since 2016, when two seats were open. Six seats were open in 2022 and 2020, and eight were in 2018—the decade-high.
Reps. Kay Granger (R-12th) and Michael Burgess (R-26th) retired from public office. Rep. Colin Allred (D-32nd) didn't seek re-election in order to run for the U.S. Senate. Fourteen candidates—10 Democrats and 4 Republicans—ran for the open 32nd district, the most candidates who ran for a seat in 2024.
Thirty-nine primaries—16 Democratic and 23 Republican—were contested this year. That was the fewest since 2016, when 33 were contested. There were 44 contested primaries in 2022, 50 in 2020, and 46 in 2018.
Nineteen incumbents—six Democrats and thirteen Republicans—faced primary challengers this year. That was the same number as 2022, and one more than in 2020.
Three districts—the 9th, the 20th, and the 30th—were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed to run. Five were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed to run—the 1st, the 11th, the 13th, the 19th, and the 25th.
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+13. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 13 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Texas' 21st the 105th most Republican district nationally.[8]
