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

Incumbent Julie Johnson (D), Colin Allred (D), Zeeshan Hafeez (D), and Carlos Quintanilla (D) are running in the Democratic primary for Texas' 33rd Congressional District on March 3, 2026. As of January 2026, Johnson and Allred led in fundraising, endorsements, and local media attention.

Allred is running for a House seat against the representative who replaced him in 2024. Allred was first elected to represent an earlier version of the district in 2018. In 2024, Allred ran for U.S. Senate rather than seeking re-election and Johnson was elected to the U.S. House. Allred ran for U.S. Senate in 2026 before dropping out of that race and re-filing for the 33rd District. In an interview with the Dallas Morning News, political science professor Cal Jillson said the race "is going to be a primary election that lots of people will be watching for the show as well as for the result."

The Texas Tribune's Gabby Birenbaum said the primary "takes on additional novelty given that the two candidates are vying for a new district that includes unfamiliar turf for both," as Texas' redistricting ahead of the 2026 elections changed district lines. Birenbaum said the "new boundaries contain about a third of the residents from the old 32nd District that both Allred and Johnson have represented."

Before her election to Congress, Johnson served six years in the Texas House of Representatives and worked as a litigation attorney in private practice. Johnson says she is running "to fight for the people who are too often overlooked and to make sure North Texans are not an afterthought." In an interview with Lone Star Politics, Johnson said Allred "was soundly rejected by the voters in the last election cycle, and he’s been soundly rejected this cycle. And I think he needs to take some introspection and look at why he couldn’t poll more favorably."

Allred has worked as a professional athlete, civil rights attorney, and staff member at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama (D). Allred says he is running "to fight for Texans who work hard and play by the rules but never feel like they can win." Allred says he feels "a responsibility to those folks to try and make sure that we have a unified party going into November, and that I could best serve by looking at serving my hometown and the place where I was born and raised."

As of January 2026, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales, and Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball each rated the general election Safe/Solid Democratic.

Texas conducted redistricting between the 2024 and 2026 elections. As a result, district lines in this state changed. According to an Inside Elections analysis, in the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris (D) received the largest share of the vote in the 2024 version of District 32—the district where Johnson and Allred served—by a margin of 24 percentage points. Harris received the largest share of the vote in the 2026 version of District 33 by a margin of 33 percentage points.

Johnson said she was running to "continue fighting to put our Democratic beliefs into action," saying she supported fewer restrictions on abortion, more restrictions on firearms, and measures that she said would reduce the price of prescription drugs.

---

Johnson said she had "earned a reputation for going toe to toe with the crooked and powerful" in the state legislature, including having "authored the historic Live Well Texas bill, which would have expanded Medicaid in Texas, gaining bipartisan support from 9 Republican Co-Sponsors."

---

Johnson said she had lived in North Texas for most of her life and had personal ties to the district.

Key Messages

The following key messages were curated by Ballotpedia staff. For more on how we identify key messages, click here.

---

Allred said he was running "to fight for Texans who work hard and play by the rules but never feel like they can win," because he "knows that Washington is broken and the system is rigged – and Texas families are paying the price. Folks who play by the rules and keep the faith just can’t seem to get ahead."

---

Allred said his record in the House included "over $135 million in federal dollars for critical public transportation, health care, affordable housing and law enforcement" and that he "was repeatedly recognized as the most bipartisan member of the Texas delegation and a consensus builder."

---

Allred said he had ties to the district and believed he "could best serve by looking at serving my hometown and the place where I was born and raised, at a time when we’re losing voices and we need even stronger voices and to have our best players on the field."

Zeeshan Hafeez

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "Zeeshan Hafeez’s story is one shared by countless families in Texas’s 33rd District — the son of immigrants, raised on sacrifice, service, and the belief that hard work should lead to opportunity. A proud Texan, devoted husband, and father of three, Zeeshan has built his life around family, faith, and service to the community. Armed with a law degree from Georgetown University and an MBA from the University of Virginia, Zeeshan could have chosen the easy path. Instead, he built a career solving real problems — expanding telehealth access for working families, mentoring youth, supporting small businesses, and helping nonprofits thrive. His leadership spans from the local to the global stage. He has advised Congress on labor and workers’ rights at the Harrison Institute of Public Policy, worked at the World Trade Organization in Geneva to help resolve international disputes, and served on community boards addressing racial equity, education, and infrastructure. Now, Zeeshan is bringing that experience to Washington — to reject special interest politics and fight for policies that reflect the values of everyday Texans: affordable healthcare, excellent public schools, clean air and water, and an economy that works for everyone. For Zeeshan, this campaign isn’t about power — it’s about people, service, and building a future where every family has a fair shot at the American Dream."

People Over Politics Washington has been hijacked by corporate PACs and special interests, and families in Texas’s 33rd District are paying the price. Zeeshan Hafeez is building a grassroots movement powered by the people — not big donors. He’ll fight to ban corporate PAC money, close tax loopholes for billionaires, and make government transparent and accountable. In Congress, he’ll push for universal healthcare, lower prescription drug costs, and housing policies that keep families in their homes. He’ll defend civil liberties, end mass surveillance, and stop government overreach that targets Muslim, Black, and immigrant communities. Zeeshan’s campaign is about restoring trust — putting people first, always.

---

Opportunity for Every Texan Every family deserves a fair shot at the American Dream — not just those with wealth or connections. Zeeshan will fight to fully fund public schools, increase teacher pay, and make community college and trade programs tuition-free. He’ll work to expand affordable healthcare, protect reproductive rights, and invest in mental health services. Zeeshan will champion small businesses and strengthen unions, ensuring workers get fair wages and safe workplaces. He supports clean energy jobs, broadband for every home, and modern infrastructure to create opportunity in every corner of the district. His vision is an economy that lifts everyone, no matter their background or zip code.

---

A Voice for Justice and Change Zeeshan has spent his life advocating for equity and opportunity — from advising Congress on workers’ rights to mentoring youth in Dallas-Fort Worth. In Congress, he’ll fight for environmental justice, ensuring clean air, clean water, and accountability for polluters. He’ll push for bold criminal justice reform, reproductive freedom, and an immigration system rooted in dignity and fairness. Zeeshan will also work to expand voting rights, protect Social Security and Medicare, and make sure seniors can retire with dignity. His vision is a future where policy serves the people, not the powerful — because true leadership starts with listening and acting for the community.
