Jace Yarbrough (R) and Ryan Binkley (R) were the top two finishers among the nine candidates running in the Republican primary runoff for Texas' 32nd Congressional District on March 3, 2026. Yarbrough and Binkley advanced from a March 3 primary because neither received more than 50% of the vote.

The primary runoff 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) ran for re-election in the 33rd District.

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."

Key Messages

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.

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

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.

• 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.
• 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.

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.
