Ballotpedia identified the March 3 Republican primary as a battleground primary. For more on the Republican primary, click here. For more on the Democratic primary, click here.

Ryan Binkley (R), Paul Bondar (R), Darrell Day (R), Jace Yarbrough (R), and five other candidates are running in the Republican primary for Texas' 32nd Congressional District on March 3, 2026. The filing deadline was December 8, 2025. As of February 2026, Binkley, Bondar, Day, and Yarbrough led in polling, fundraising, and local media attention.

The primary is taking place in the context of Texas' August 2025 redistricting. An Inside Elections analysis of the new district lines said the 32nd District "was previously a compact, Dallas-based seat with a Baseline of D+22. Now, it stretches from the Dallas suburbs deep into conservative East Texas, giving it a Baseline of R+17. Accordingly, we are changing our rating in this seat from Solid Democratic to Solid Republican." Incumbent Julie Johnson (D) is running for re-election in the 33rd District.

Binkley is the chief executive of a mergers and acquisitions firm and the senior pastor of Create Church in Houston. Binkley ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. In his Candidate Connection survey, Binkley says he is running because "we are facing a financial crisis in our nation that is threatening the future of the next generation. We have the highest debt to GDP ratio in our nation’s history and we need leaders in Congress to address this challenge with strategic plans and wisdom."

Bondar is a businessman with experience in the insurance industry. Bondar ran to represent Oklahoma's 4th Congressional District in 2024 and lost to incumbent Tom Cole (R) 65%–26%. In his Candidate Connection survey, Bondar says he is running because "Americans are getting a raw deal. We need to put America first. Let's stop selling out our citizens and start creating value in the tax dollars we harvest."

Day is a business owner. Day was the Republican nominee in 2024, losing to Julie Johnson (D) 61%–37% under the old district lines. Day says he is "the MAGA candidate, running to bring honesty, common sense and proven conservative leadership to Congress. I stand on the unshakable foundation of the Bible and the U.S. Constitution to deliver solid solutions for Texans."

Yarbrough is an attorney specializing in constitutional law and the co-founder of Saint Francis Academy. Yarbrough says he is running because "President Trump needs reinforcements in DC to help deliver on his promises to the American people – and keep the radical left from taking us backwards toward a distorted vision of America." President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Yarbrough on February 4, 2026.

Also running in the primary are Aimee Carrasco (R), Gordon Heslop (R), Monty Montanez (R), James Ussery (R), and Abteen Vaziri (R).

If no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff on May 26.

Ryan Binkley

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "I’m running for office because I believe we are facing a financial crisis in our nation that is threatening the future of the next generation. We have the highest debt to GDP ratio in our nation’s history and we need leaders in Congress to address this challenge with strategic plans and wisdom that allow our country to grow while cutting needless spending. I am a proven CEO and owner of a group of four separate companies with over 400 employees across the nation. I will use my experience and track record to grow our economy through small businesses initiatives, reforming health care, codifying President Trump’s Executive Orders into law, strong border and immigration law enforcement, and ensuring that every legal vote is counted and protected."

The biggest threat, without question, is our national debt. We are staring at a fiscal cliff that Washington refuses to acknowledge. We’re around $38 trillion in debt, and we are on a fast track to be $48-50 trillion by the end of this decade. It’s unsustainable. We are mortgaging our children’s future to pay for today’s excesses. If we don’t rein in spending and codify DOGE cuts into law, we risk losing our standing economically on the world stage and we will continue to have the large wealth gap that exists today which is hurting the middle class. I believe we have six years to really bring this country back to a healthy place financially.

---

Our immigration system is in shambles. Failed open-border policies have unleashed millions of illegal crossings, deadly fentanyl floods, and rampant human trafficking—costing precious lives, straining communities, and eroding sovereignty. But God calls us to wise stewardship: securing borders with resolve, reforming through accountability, and rejecting amnesty outright. Amnesty isn't compassion—it's a magnet for lawlessness, rewarding lawbreakers while betraying hardworking Americans. We must end it.Security first: Fully fund the border wall, cutting-edge tech like sensors and drones, and more Border Patrol agents. In Congress, I'll enshrine Trump's proven executive orders into law and end Sanctuary Cities for good.

---

As a pastor and father, I've seen how radical gender ideology confuses our children, leading to irreversible harms like transition surgeries and chemical castration through puberty blockers. Genesis 1:27 says that God created us male and female—it's a biological truth, not a choice. We must protect our kids from this agenda pushed in schools and clinics, denying them the innocence and guidance they need. In Congress, I'll fight to completely outlaw these procedures on minors, defend girls' sports from biological males, and restore parental rights over indoctrination. No more exploiting vulnerable youth for political gain. Let's unite in faith and common sense to safeguard our families and future generations.

Paul Bondar

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "Americans are getting a raw deal. We need to put America first. Let's stop selling out our citizens and start creating value in the tax dollars we harvest. We don't have a revenue problem we have a spending problem. climate change and the green new deal is a scam. DEI is a cancer that will rot our culture and destroy our next generation. Thank you President Trump for standing up for America. For too long America has been the piggy bank of the world and out tax payers fund wars while other nations don't chip in. We are granted right to us from God, not government. Government wishes to remove God so it can become the new world form of God. we have separation of church and state to protect the church from the state. Not be become an atheist nation. As the next representative I will not allow the woke democrats to run us over a cliff. We will fight and WORK for the entire district. We will spend money on our district roads and and replace solar farms with real farms. Let us return to common sense and rid ourselves of the craziness of the left."

Darrell Day

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "MAGA conservative Darrell Day was the GOP Nominee for CD32 in 2024, winning the GOP Runoff by 30 points, and then in the general election generated 25,000 additional Republican votes. A small business owner, Darrell Day has served in CD32 as a GOP Precinct Chair, a Poll Watcher, an Election Judge and a donor to the previous two CD32 GOP Nominees."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

To strengthen our economy, we need to aggressively continue President Trump's AMERICA FIRST program of bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States.

---

Another move to boost our economy is aggressively pursuing an "all of the above" strategy of increasing domestic energy production, from increasing domestic oil production to building new nuclear and natural gas power generators. Boosting energy production will decrease energy prices, which will reverberate throughout the economy and lower inflation by lowering prices for all products.

---

Our obscene $37 trillion national debt endangers our country. We must aggressively cut federal spending, starting with U.S. Congress reviewing every government agency to cut every penny of spending which is unconstitutional or is counter to an AMERICA FIRST policy.

Gordon Heslop

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "I am a retired accounting educator, having been on the faculty at Texas A&M University-Commerce, now renamed East Texas A&M University, for most of the last 20 years. I am a lifelong conservative and have been a Republican for the last 44 years. The theme of my campaign is "Make America Normal Again", following the very disruptive last 10 years. I am laser focused on strengthening the middle class while reducing the national debt and maintaining America's role as leader of the free world. Improving the viability of the middle class while balancing the budget and reducing the national debt are huge undertakings which will demand significant changes be made but my plans for doing this will not put more stress on the middle class. My plan increases home ownership, decreases the cost of higher education while improving the quality of grades 1-12 education and significantly increasing the number of skilled trades professionals. While it is likely impossible to get absolute perfection in an area as complex and varied as health care, I have some proposals which would improve health services to the general public. In the area of foreign policy, I believe in a strong and modern military, which in conjunction with our many allies around the world, protects our freedom and the values of our wonderful western civilization. Isolationism is not the answer and would result in a severely weakened United States."

Key Messages

---

We must get rid of the constant vitriol of today's politics. Issues should be vigorously debated, after which we vote, and then accept the election results. We must restore decorum to the political system and get rid of all the name calling and trash talking. There is no place in our system for all the threats and abuse we currently witness. This is also important as an example to our children so that they respect the system and want to participate in it. The Democrats are not the Taliban, and while I disagree with many of their policies, and very strongly oppose the growing radical wing of their party, I believe, as has happened in the past, that much of the most significant legislation is enacted when the parties work together.

---

Taxation is a heavy burden for the middle class. You can pay enough tax in one year for the government to buy a car, but if you buy the same car for yourself it takes you 5 or 6 years to pay it off. The major theme of my taxation policy is that the middle class will not pay a higher rate of tax than those with much higher incomes.

---

The focus of government policy needs to be centered on the ordinary citizen, not the lobbyists, the billionaires, the big corporations, the influencers, the stars, and the other people/groups who hog the limelight. A strong economy requires a healthy and robust middle class and government policy should be focused in this area. For example, if you want to lower food costs, don't put a tariff on food. Or if you want to increase home ownership, don't put a tariff on building materials.

Abteen Vaziri

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "I’m Abteen Vaziri, a Christian, an America First Conservative, and a Dallas based business and finance professional running for Congress in Texas’ 32nd District. I believe in secure borders, safe communities, lower taxes, and a government that lives within its means. I’m running because Washington is failing our middle class both culturally and economically: inflation is crushing budgets, energy policy is driving up costs, crime is rising, and the border is out of control. National sovereignty and American culture is personal to me. In Congress, I will confront radical Islam with a tough, targeted, lawful strategy—stop terror networks, disrupt foreign funding, strengthen vetting, and back intelligence and law enforcement. No theocracy. No Sharia. No foreign funded extremist influence—ever. As an Iranian refugee, I’ve seen what happens when radical Islam takes over a nation. Texas and America must never tolerate Islamist extremism or foreign funded authoritarian ideology—ever. My agenda is simple: secure the border, lower costs through fiscal discipline, American energy, and ingenuity, defend constitutional rights, and clean up corruption in Congress so public service isn’t a get rich scheme."

Key Messages

---

Security first: secure the border and back law enforcement. I will confront radical Islam here and abroad with intelligence-led operations, stronger vetting, and aggressive action against foreign funding and recruitment networks. We are not a nation without a secure border. I will ensure that American strength through our economy and geopolitical strategy increase our nation’s sovereignty without having endless wars. Jobs and the economy are America’s security. Americans should be incentivized to obtain degrees and work-ready preparedness for the new smart economy. I will encourage this through enabling scholarships and financial aid only for STEM degrees that will help bolster our economy and infrastructure to compete globally.

---

Lower costs: stop reckless spending that fuels inflation and unleash American energy. I support more domestic oil and gas production, faster permitting, a stronger grid, and next generation nuclear so families pay less and North Texas wins jobs and investment while we build our infrastructure and meet our future energy needs for AI and future technologies. I will bring manufacturing back home and contain China economically through tariffs and energy independence.

---

Accountability: ban congressional insider trading, shut the revolving door, and make Washington follow the rules it imposes on everyone else. I will introduce a bill that will levy a tax on all federal elected officials at 50% of any earnings while in elected office and place that revenue into healthcare funding for our VA. I’ll run a constituent first office that actually answers the phone, solves problems, and delivers results.

Jace Yarbrough

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "Trump Endorsed proven Conservative Fighter Who Never Backs Down I'm not running on promises—I'm running on proof. I gave up career advancement rather than comply with unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandates. The Space Force retaliated against me for criticizing transgender ideology—I fought back with First Liberty Institute and won. I've defended Americans in court against government overreach, fought the misuse of taxpayer dollars for abortion travel, and served as President Trump's election integrity lawyer. These aren't campaign talking points—they're battles I've fought and won. I don't fold under pressure. Texas deserves a representative who has already proven he'll fight for conservative values, not another politician who makes empty promises."

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

---

President Trump needs reinforcements who will finish the wall, end catch-and-release, and stop illegal immigration threatening our workers and communities. I will never allow Sharia law or Islamification in Texas. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land—no foreign legal or religious system will supersede American law. As a Stanford-trained constitutional lawyer, I'll hold government accountable when it violates citizens' rights—whether weaponizing federal agencies, imposing unconstitutional mandates, or attacking religious liberty. I'll support President Trump's America First agenda: strong military free from woke ideology, energy independence, and policies that put American families first.

---

Texas families deserve lower costs and economic opportunity. I support President Trump's fight to bring American manufacturing home, confront hostile foreign regimes that cheat and steal from us, and restore our economic independence. We must cut taxes, unleash energy production, end wasteful spending, and demand fair trade—not deals that enrich our adversaries while hurting American workers. Foreign competitors who steal our intellectual property and refuse to play by the rules don't deserve access to our markets. I'll also end the fraudulent abuse of visa and immigration programs that displace American workers and students with cheap foreign labor and fake credentials. I'll fight to put American families first.

---

For too long, Washington has sent our troops into endless foreign wars that don't serve American interests. I stand with President Trump's America First foreign policy: no more nation-building, no more policing the world, no more sacrificing American lives for conflicts that don't threaten our homeland. We must prioritize defending America—not foreign borders while ours remains wide open. I support peace through strength: a powerful military that deters aggression without deploying into unnecessary wars. We should confront real threats like China's aggression, maintain military readiness free from woke ideology, and secure our energy independence—but only commit American forces when our nation is at stake.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Texas in 2026. Information below was calculated on Dec. 8, 2025, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Two hundred fifty-two candidates — 98 Democrats and 154 Republicans — ran for Texas’ 38 U.S. House districts. That’s 6.6 candidates per district. There were 4.2 candidates per district in 2024, 5.8 in 2022, 6.4 in 2020, 5.9 in 2018, 3.5 in 2016, and 2.8 in 2014.

These were the first elections to take place since the Texas Legislature passed a new congressional map. The Texas House of Representatives passed it on Aug. 20, 2025, and the Texas Senate passed it on Aug. 23, 2025. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) signed the new congressional map into law on Aug. 29, 2025.

This was the highest total number of candidates who ran for the U.S. House since 2014.

Ten districts were open in 2026. There were three districts open in 2024, six in 2022, six in 2020, eight in 2018, two in 2016, and one in 2014. 

Reps. Morgan Luttrell (R-8th), Michael McCaul (R-10th), Jodey Arrington (R-19th), Troy Nehls (R-22nd), Marc Veasey (D-33rd), and Lloyd Doggett (D-37th) retired from public office. Reps. Jasmine Crockett (D-30th) and Wesley Hunt (R-38th) ran for the U.S. Senate. Rep. Chip Roy (R-21st) ran for attorney general of Texas.

Two incumbents — Reps. Christian Menefee (D) and Al Green (D) — ran against each other in the redrawn 18th district. Menefee was the incumbent in the 18th district, and Green was the incumbent in the 9th district.

Fifty-nine primaries — 32 Democratic and 28 Republican — were contested in 2026. In total, there were 39 contested primaries in 2024, 44 in 2022, 50 in 2020, 46 in 2018, 33 in 2016, and 19 in 2014.

Fifteen candidates ran for the open 9th district, 21st district, and 35th district, tying for the most candidates running for a district in 2026.

Nineteen incumbents — eight Democrats and 11 Republicans — faced primary challengers in 2026. There were 19 incumbents in a contested primary in 2024, 19 in 2022, 18 in 2020, 15 in 2018, 19 in 2016, and 12 in 2014.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all 38 districts, meaning no districts were guaranteed to either party.
