Texas' 32nd Congressional District election, 2026 (March 3 Republican primary)
Jace Yarbrough (R) and Ryan Binkley (R) were the top two finishers among the nine candidates running in the Republican primary for Texas' 32nd Congressional District on March 3, 2026. Yarbrough and Binkley advanced to a May 26 runoff because neither received more than 50% of the vote. As of March 2026, Yarbrough, Binkley, Paul Bondar (R), and Darrell Day (R) led in polling, fundraising, and local media attention.[1][2]
The primary took 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."[3] Incumbent Julie Johnson (D) ran for re-election in the 33rd District.
Yarbrough was, as of the 2026 elections, an attorney specializing in constitutional law and the co-founder of Saint Francis Academy. Yarbrough said he was 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."[4] President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Yarbrough on February 4, 2026.[5]
Binkley was, as of the 2026 elections, the chief executive of a mergers and acquisitions firm and the senior pastor of Create Church in Houston.[6] Binkley ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. In his Candidate Connection survey, Binkley said he was 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 was, as of the 2026 elections, a businessman with experience in the insurance industry.[7] 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 said he was 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 was, as of the 2026 elections, a business owner. Day was the Republican nominee in 2024, losing to Julie Johnson (D) 61%–37% under the old district lines. Day said he was "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."[8]
Also running in the primary were Aimee Carrasco (R), Gordon Heslop (R), Monty Montanez (R), James Ussery (R), and Abteen Vaziri (R).
Paul Bondar (R), Darrell Day (R), Gordon Heslop (R), Abteen Vaziri (R), and Jace Yarbrough (R) completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. To read those survey responses, click here.

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."

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."

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."

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."

Paul Bondar (R)
I am a businessman. Nothing was given to me. I earned it. These skills are what we lack in government.
I will represent every member of the district. From the west to the east. And I actually LIVE IN THE District!!!!
Darrell Day (R)
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 (R)
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 (R)
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.
Jace Yarbrough (R)
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.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2026 elections, based on results from the 2024 and 2020 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district is D+13. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 13 percentage points more Democratic than the national average. This made Texas' 32nd the 95th most Democratic district nationally.[16]
