A Republican Party primary takes place on March 3, 2026, in Texas to determine which Republican candidate will run in the state's general election on November 3, 2026.

Candidate filing deadline	Primary election	General election
December 8, 2025	March 3, 2026	November 3, 2026

Heading into the election, the incumbent is John Cornyn (Republican), who was first elected in 2002.

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Texas utilizes an open primary system. State law requires voters to sign the following pledge before voting in a primary: "I am a (insert appropriate political party) and understand that I am ineligible to vote or participate in another political party's primary election or convention during this voting year."

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Cornyn said he had delivered for Texas while in office, including through his work to "deliver the largest tax cut in American history by securing passage of President Trump’s landmark Tax Cuts and Jobs Act," delivering "more than $11 billion in federal reimbursements for Texas’ Operation Lone Star, ensuring state taxpayers weren’t left holding the bag," and "eliminating unfair taxes on select firearms and suppressors in President Trump’s reconciliation package."

Virgil Bierschwale

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I'm a software developer and Navy Veteran. Worked all my life and suddenly in 2003 I was deemed overqualified and could no longer find work. Since then I have watched it grow worse yearly. Essentially we import more nonimmigrant workers than we create jobs for. I believe Americans should come first in America. Nobody, whether it be the incumbent, or anyone campaigining to replace him, are discussing jobs. How can they not discuss this when more and more of our college graduates are finding it impossible to find good paying jobs?"

Alexander Duncan

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "I am a proud conservative, a devoted Christian, and a dedicated servant to the people. With 12 years of service as a police officer, I have firsthand experience protecting communities, upholding the law, and navigating the challenges facing everyday Americans. I grew up in a working-class family, with a father who served as a police officer and a stay-at-home mom who instilled in me the values of hard work, integrity, and faith. These values shaped my life and my unwavering belief in Faith, Family, and Freedom. I earned my education in International Relations and Public Policy, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to tackle the complex issues facing our state and nation. As a lifelong devout conservative, I have always put God first and fought for the values that make America strong. I’m married to my incredible wife, and together, we are raising our two young children with a commitment to faith and family. Relocating to Texas from California was a pivotal decision for our family. Texas stands as the last great hope for America—a state that abides by the Constitution, puts God at the center, and serves as a shining example for the entire nation. I am running for U.S. Senate to ensure Texas remains strong, prosperous, and free, and to fight for the principles that built this great state and country."

Unlike career politicians, I am not beholden to Washington elites or special interests. I bring 12 years of law enforcement experience, a background in public policy, and a deep commitment to Texas values.

Hunt said he had a record of fighting for Texas: "I fought in combat, and I’ve fought for Texas in Congress. Now, I’m taking that same fighting spirit to the United States Senate. It won’t be easy, but I’ve never backed down from a fight. I truly believe nothing is more worth fighting for than our great country and our Texas values."

Hunt said he was a close ally of President Trump's. Hunt said that during the 2024 election cycle, he was "the first in Texas, and the entire country, to endorse Donald J. Trump for President on November 15th, 2022. Now, I’m fighting alongside President Trump to codify DOGE cuts, secure our border, and fight for economic prosperity for all Texans."

Hunt said energy policy would be a priority for him: "As the Energy Congressman of the World, I fully understand the importance of Oil and Gas in America’s future. Our leaders should be focused on energy addition, not energy transition. The United States produces the cleanest and safest oil and gas found anywhere in the world and we should be drilling more of it, not less."

PATIENT FIRST As part of my campaign, I’m unveiling a HEALTH TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVE that puts patients—not insurance companies—back in control. This plan will:

• Confront the unchecked power of HMOs
• Eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic red tape
• Empower small, local providers who prioritize care over corporate profits

I’m running to close the “gaps in healthcare” that real people face every day:

• Delays and obstacles in accessing basic care
• Endless wait times to reach insurance representatives
• Burdensome pre-authorization requirements

As a Texas-based small healthcare business owner, I see how bureaucracy and low reimbursement rates especially hurt those providing home-based care.

President Donald J. Trump’s RECIPROCAL TARIFFS are more than just a trade strategy—they’re a bold commitment to AMERICAN STRENGTH. By demanding fairness from our trading partners, our President is standing up for AMERICAN WORKERS, restoring pride in 'MADE IN THE USA,' and ensuring that every dollar spent helps build a STRONGER, more SELF-RELIANT NATION. This is AMERICA FIRST in action—protecting our jobs, defending our industries, and putting our country back where it belongs: FIRST. GOD BLESS THE USA

It’s Time for TERM LIMITS IN CONGRESS!! Washington wasn’t meant to be a career path. Our Founders envisioned citizen legislators—people who serve their country, then return home. But today, too many in Congress are more focused on staying in power than serving the people. That needs to change. As your next U.S. Senator from Texas, I’ll fight for a constitutional amendment to impose TERM LIMITS: - 2 terms for U.S. Senators (12 years) - 6 terms for U.S. House Members (12years) This would bring fresh ideas, restore accountability, and reduce the influence of lobbyists and special interests. The American people overwhelmingly support term limits. It's time Congress listens.

Party: Republican Party

Incumbent: No

Submitted Biography:  "My name is Rennie Hill Mann, a native Texan born in 1972 in Waxahachie. After completing high school and college in Texas, I joined our family business, Mann Glass Concepts Inc. I learned my strong work ethic from my stepfather as I prepared to take over the management of Mann Glass Concepts after his passing. In 1994 I married my beautiful wife, Candy Clark. We have three children, and we live in Richland Springs. As a successful business owner and rancher, I served my communities in Forney and Richland Springs. I left each place I served better physically and financially. I plan to leverage my business and community skills as a U.S. Senator for the people of Texas.

My belief in God, family, and country are foremost in my mind. Our country was founded by people who believed in God, belief in the strength of the family unit and a country of free people. I am a business owner and rancher, not a politician. I'm not running for endorsements from the elitists and large corporations, but for the people of Texas and of the U.S.A.

---

My main priorities are for fiscal responsibility in our dept and budget, each item should be examined and voted upon individually in accordance with the Constitution. We need immediate, valid, and responsible changes in our care of veterans. I believe we should prioritize and recognize China as our chief adversary and end our dependance upon their products. The issue of drug use must be addressed. Finally, I believe our second amendment rights should be protected, defended vigorously, and never negotiated.

---

My pledge, if I am elected, will be to defend the Constitution and the rights guaranteed by it and address the priorities I have listed.

Paxton said he had "been on the front lines of the most important legal fights in the country" as Texas Attorney General during the Biden and Obama administrations and that he had a record of standing up for Texans. Paxton's campaign website said he was "not afraid to take on the big guys — and win. He’s fought and secured major victories against Big Tech, corporations pushing ESG nonsense, and companies abusing Texans’ personal data. He sued Pfizer for misleading the public on the COVID-19 vaccine and led national efforts to hold companies accountable for their role in the opioid crisis, bringing billions in settlement dollars home to Texas."

---

Paxton said he had "always been a loyal supporter of President Trump and a staunch supporter of the America First movement." Paxton said he would "champion President Trump’s legislative priorities, including cutting taxes, securing the border and deporting illegal aliens, ending the weaponization of government, and draining the Swamp."

---

Paxton's website said he was "a conservative outsider— just like President Trump— who has consistently taken on the political establishment and won. As Senator, he will shake up Washington and be a relentless fighter for the American people." He said he was running "to stop the career politicians who are attacking our way of life. He will stand with President Trump to protect our gun rights, defend the unborn, and defeat the radical transgender movement that’s desperate to put men in girls’ sports and woke indoctrination in our classrooms."

During my youth, I significantly engaged in the local Toys for Tots program, organizing Christmas dinners and providing gifts to families in need.

I am committed to a strong America First agenda. I dedicate myself to ensuring that every decision I make and every bill I support prioritizes American citizens. I will work tirelessly to strengthen our borders and eliminate the incentives for illegal immigration. It's essential to reform our tax and spending policies to root out corruption. Upholding our obligations to our veterans, who have sacrificed to protect our Constitution and way of life, is non-negotiable for me. Additionally, I believe we should establish term limits to curtail the power of career politicians who stagnate our government and prevent our country from evolving and flourishing. It is my mission to make America great again.

---

I am committed to prioritizing the protection of our rights for the benefit of every citizen. I advocate for a government that maintains minimal intrusion in our daily lives, allowing individuals the freedom to thrive. It is essential that regulations are kept to a reasonable minimum to ensure health, safety, and fairness for all. Every American should have the ability to retain their earnings and genuinely own their property, I unconditionally support the Second Amendment, recognizing it as a fundamental right that underpins all others. Our government is founded on the consent of the people and operates under the guidance of the Constitution. I am committed to prioritizing the protection of our rights for the benefit of every citizen

---

I firmly advocate for leadership through strength. For America to assert itself as a true leader in the world, we must operate from a position of strength. Achieving energy independence is not just important; it is imperative. We will not allow foreign actors to influence or control our infrastructure and food production. Safeguarding ownership in these critical areas is non-negotiable, and we must ensure that essential components are sourced exclusively from American companies to prevent any manipulation. A robust, well-trained, and well-equipped military is the ultimate determinant of our security. Furthermore, the strength of the family and the promotion of family values are essential for the success and prosperity of our nation.
