Texas' 32nd Congressional District election, 2026 (May 26 Republican primary runoff)
Jace Yarbrough (R) and Ryan Binkley (R) were the top two finishers among nine candidates running in the Republican primary for Texas' 32nd Congressional District on March 3, 2026. Because no candidate won more than 50% of the vote, Yarbrough and Binkley advanced to a runoff on May 26, 2026.
On March 17, 2026, Binkley suspended his campaign.[1] As a result, the runoff was canceled, and Yarbrough advanced to the general election as the Republican nominee. In a statement, Binkley said he "ran for our children's future, for financial stewardship, for the rights of property owners, and for every person who feels unseen in the political process."[2]
Binkley's decision came after all seven of the candidates defeated in the March 3 primary issued statements endorsing Yarbrough on March 16, 2026.[3] President Donald Trump (R) endorsed Yarbrough on February 4, 2026.[4]
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 "stretches from the Dallas suburbs deep into conservative East Texas."[5] Incumbent Julie Johnson (D) is running 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. In a statement following the primary, Yarbrough said, "[a]s President Trump’s endorsed candidate in this race, I will continue working hard in the weeks ahead to unite Republicans across TX-32 so we can win this runoff, focus on the general election, and keep this seat in conservative hands."[6]
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.[7] 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."
As of March 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Solid/Safe Republican.

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."

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.

- 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.[8]
- 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.[9][10][11]

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.[15]
