March 3 Republican primary
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.
Chris Gober (R), Jessica Karlsruher (R), Scott MacLeod (R), and seven other candidates are running in the Republican primary for Texas' 10th Congressional District on March 3, 2026. The filing deadline is December 8, 2025. As of January 2026, Gober, Karlsruher, and MacLeod led in local media attention.[1]
Incumbent Michael McCaul (R), first elected in 2004, is not running for re-election, saying he was "looking now for a new challenge."[2] As of January 2026, McCaul had not endorsed any of the candidates.
Gober is an attorney and the chief executive officer of Lex Politica, which Gober describes as "the nation’s top conservative law practice, consistently winning for conservatives in the toughest legal and political battles of our time."[3][4] Gober earlier worked for the U.S. Department of Justice, the Republican Party, and America PAC. Gober says he is running "because President Trump needs allies who know how to beat the Left and won’t back down."[3]
Karlsruher describes herself as "a 5th-generation Texan and a life-long conservative." Karlsruher is a former chief executive officer of the Texas Real Estate Advocacy & Defense Coalition, where she says she "fought tirelessly to defend landowners, protect Texas ranchers and farmers, strengthen rural communities, preserve our natural resources, and stand up for the state’s vital oil and gas industry."[5] Karlsruher says she is running "because I want my kids—and every Texas family—to grow up in a country that’s strong, free, and full of opportunity."[6]
MacLeod is a retired U.S. Army colonel. MacLeod describes himself as "a decorated veteran, strong conservative, and proven leader who has spent more than three decades defending America from foreign threats and fighting for Texas."[7] MacLeod says he is running because "I want to give back what was freely given to me. I was blessed with an amazing career and professional education that I believe is relevant to the challenges faced by our country. I feel a duty to serve and want to work hard for the people of Texas and our Nation."[8]
Also running in the primary are Rob Altman (R), Ben Bius (R), Robert Brown (R), Jenny Garcia Sharon (R), Brandon Hawbaker (R), Christopher Hurt (R), Kara King (R), and Jeremy Story (R).
As of January 2026, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales, and Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Solid/Safe Republican. In the 2024 election, McCaul defeated Theresa Boisseau (D) 64%–34%. An Inside Elections analysis of the August 2025 redistricting in Texas' effect on the 10th district calculated that President Donald Trump (R) won the 2024 presidential election in the new 2026 district lines by 23 percentage points, down from the 25 percentage points under the district's 2024 lines.[9]

Submitted Biography: "I feel like God has been encouraging me to run for this position, so here I am. I have been trying to get our current representative to act on many things in the past and since I never hear back from him, I feel it's important to be there for people. I want to be a representative that you can rely on, trust in, and contact anytime you want. At some point, I would like to meet and hear from each and every one of you in person and hear directly from you what your biggest concerns and hopes are. I want us to be able to live and breath again, to be able to live our lives without having to stress and worry about what the government is or is not doing. I want you to be able to rest at night knowing I'm battling for you with all my might, mind, and strength. Also, while I'm not your traditional politician like a lawyer or large business owner, I do have some unique skills that may help. Because I'm a Senior Software Engineer, I have the ability to create our own applications, services, and websites to organize, gather, investigate, and brainstorm solutions for issues that matter most to our own district. I'm also really good at digging deep and getting to the root cause of problems and I'm excited to see what solutions we can come up with together. I want to fix it all, line-by-line, bill-by-bill, issue-by-issue, until we're all celebrating together! I know it's going to be a lot of work since we have decades of bad legislation, but we'll get it done."

- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[10]
