Former state Reps. Stacey Abrams and Stacey Evans defined their campaigns by how they planned to compete in the general election in a state where Democrats had not won the governorship since 1998. Abrams' approach was mobilizing black voters who do not normally turn out in nonpresidential election years alongside white liberals. Evans' strategy was to appeal to white moderates who live in suburban and rural areas and maybe even voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

The candidates generally agreed on policy, but they have criticized each other over past votes on the HOPE Scholarship, gun policy, and state takeovers of failing school districts. Abrams was supported by national influencers and progressives organizations, including Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Planned Parenthood. Evans was supported by state political figures, including former Gov. Roy Barnes (D) and members of the state legislature.

A crowded Republican field lined up to replace term-limited Gov. Nathan Deal (R), who was first elected in 2010. Lieutenant Gov. Casey Cagle led in fundraising with nearly $7 million in contributions and in every public poll through May 2018. However, Cagle never polled higher than 50 percent, the vote percentage necessary to avoid a July 24 runoff. The top candidates running behind Cagle were Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who emphasized his support for President Trump's immigration policies, and former state Sen. Hunter Hill, who emphasized his military background and was endorsed by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. Behind them were businessman Clay Tippins and state Sen. Michael Williams, the first elected official in Georgia to endorse Trump.

Gun policy was a major issue in the campaign, especially after Cagle used his power as lieutenant governor to block a tax break for Delta Airlines in retaliation for the company rescinding a discount program for National Rifle Association members after the Parkland school shooting. In addition to gun policy, the candidates debated and disagreed over whether the state income tax should be abolished and whether to expand medical marijuana access.

Lexington Mayor Jim Gray and former Navy pilot Amy McGrath faced off for the chance to take on incumbent Andy Barr (R) in the general election. Gray and McGrath were both ideologically moderate. Each said they would work with President Donald Trump on specific issues, and both said they might oppose Nancy Pelosi as House Democratic leader.^[1]

However, Gray was encouraged to run by the DCCC and said he was the only Democrat who could win in the general election, having carried the district in 2016 when he unsuccessfully challenged Rand Paul (R) for U.S. Senate. McGrath, on the other hand, achieved national fame with campaign videos highlighting her military experience and used that fame to build a national fundraising network. She said Gray was the party’s choice for the seat and she was the outsider.

A third major candidate was state Sen. Reggie Thomas, who ran to the left on healthcare and gun policy.

District 71

High School math teacher R. Travis Brenda defeated Kentucky State House Majority Leader Jonathan Shell in the Republican primary in House District 71. According to unofficial results posted by the Kentucky State Board of Elections office, Brenda defeated Shell by about 125 votes, 50.7% to 49.3%.^[2]

Brenda challenged Shell in part because of legislation passed by the state legislature and signed by Gov. Matt Bevin (R) which modified pension benefits for teachers. Teachers in Kentucky staged large rallies at the state capitol in April to protest the pension bill and also urge the state legislature to override the governor’s veto of the annual state budget. Brenda will face Democrat Mary Renfro, a county school board member, in November.^[3]

District 2

After a contentious March 6 primary where Republican activist Kathaleen Wall came in third despite putting loaning her campaign $6 million, the runoff to replace Ted Poe (R) between state Rep. Kevin Roberts and former Navy SEAL Daniel Crenshaw continued to draw in prominent influencers and satellite spending. Although the Club for Growth did not endorse either candidate, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and members of the Texas Freedom Caucus endorsed Crenshaw, while the Texas Association of Business endorsed Roberts.

American Patriots PAC, Americans Together, and the With Honor Fund, along with smaller groups, poured in nearly $900,000 to support Crenshaw. Conservatives Results Matter, a super PAC mostly funded by the law firm founded by Roberts' brother-in-law, spent about $630,000 opposing Crenshaw. The attacks on Crenshaw focused on a Facebook post he made during the 2016 presidential election where he criticized then-candidate Donald Trump and indicated support for same-sex marriage. Crenshaw dismissed the post, saying he was supporting the Texans in the race, including Rick Perry and Jeb Bush, at that time and later became a supporter of the president and his agenda.

District 5

After state Rep. Lance Gooden and political consultant Bunni Pounds advanced from the March 6 primary to replace Jeb Hensarling (R), prominent influencers and satellite groups became heavily involved in the race. National conservative influencers like Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz lined up behind Pounds while the Club for Growth spent over $300,000 supporting her candidacy. Gooden, who led Pounds in the March 6 primary 29.9 percent to 20 percent, received the support of former elected officials and businesspeople in the district as well as the Texas Association of Business and the National Association of Realtors. Between the Realtors Association and the super PAC Our Conservative Texas Future, over $450,000 in outside funds were spent in his favor.

The Palestine Herald-Press described the race as being between Gooden's rural support base and Pounds' urban and Washington D.C. connections rather than ideological factions, but the candidates differ on some policies. For example, Gooden opposed school vouchers while Pounds supported them, and Pounds opposed federal subsidies for farmers while Gooden supported them.^[4]

District 6

Former Tarrant County Tax Assessor Ron Wright and Navy pilot Jake Ellzey ran to replace U.S. Rep. Joe Barton (R), a member of the House Freedom Caucus. Wright, who previously worked for Barton, said he would join the Freedom Caucus, while Ellzey said he would not.

Wright nearly won the March 6 primary outright, receiving 45 percent of the vote to Ellzey's 21 percent. After the March 6 primary, he was endorsed by the Club for Growth, which spent nearly $60,000 boosting his candidacy. Ellzey was endorsed by the Dallas Morning News and maintained a slight fundraising lead over Wright. A late April poll from WPA Intelligence found Wright with 47 percent support and Ellzey with 24 percent, while 29 percent of voters were undecided.

District 7

Attorney Lizzie Pannill Fletcher (D) and writer Laura Moser (D) were seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Rep. John Culberson (R). Although the seat has been held by the Republican Party since 1966, Hillary Clinton (D) carried the district in the 2016 presidential election, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has targeted the seat as part of its battleground expansion program.^[5]

Two weeks prior to the first round of voting, the DCCC released opposition research targeting Moser, saying that she would not be able to defeat Culberson in the general election. The opposition research included quotes from an opinion piece Moser had written expressing her desire to avoid living in rural Texas.^[6] The two candidates have emphasized differing strategies for the general election, with Fletcher focused on winning support from voters who have mostly backed Republican candidates in the past and Moser on increasing turnout.^[7]

Democratic runoff

Democratic candidates Mary Wilson and Joseph Kopser were the top two vote-getters in the primary election for Texas' 21st Congressional District election, but both advanced to a runoff election since neither received more than 50 percent of the vote. Wilson received 30.93 percent and Kopser received 28.98 percent. Since the primary, Kopser was endorsed by State Rep. Eddie Rodriguez (D) and Travis County Commissioner Brigid Shea, while Wilson was backed by Justice Democrats.

Republican runoff

Tea Party favorite Chip Roy and businessman Matt McCall emerged from an 18-candidate primary field on March 6 in the race to replace Lamar Smith (R). Both said they would join the House Freedom Caucus if elected.

Heading into the primary, Roy received support from his former boss in the U.S. Senate, Ted Cruz, as well as former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, the Club for Growth, and the House Freedom Caucus. He led the field in fundraising by a wide margin and took the plurality of the vote on March 6 with 27 percent. Although McCall previously challenged Smith in the 2014 and 2016 Republican primaries, he had no major endorsements and mostly self-funded his campaign. He beat out ex-CIA officer William Negley, a top fundraiser supported by billionaire San Antonio businessman Red McCombs, by a 16.9 percent to 15.5 percent margin to make the runoff.

Although McCall was endorsed by McCombs after March 6, most of the pre-runoff campaign activity has been on Roy's side. Satellite groups spent more than $600,000 supporting Roy and opposing McCall. Moreover, he was endorsed by Lamar Smith and U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas). A Strong Texas Fund spent about $40,000 supporting McCall.

District 23

Democratic runoff

Gina Ortiz Jones and Rick Treviño were the top two vote-getters in the March 6 primary election for Texas' 23rd Congressional District. Both advanced to a runoff since neither received more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary. Since the primary, Ortiz Jones was endorsed by multiple state representatives, Giffords PAC, and the Daily Kos. Treviño was backed by the progressive organization Our Revolution.

The 23rd District was a swing district in the years leading up to the 2018 election, causing Democrats to hope they might once again flip the seat back to their control. The 2016 election saw Republican incumbent Will Hurd narrowly defeat his Democratic challenger Pete Gallego by just over one percentage point. Hurd originally unseated Gallego in the 2014 general election; prior to that Gallego had held the office for two years. National political correspondent for the Washington Post Karen Tumulty said of the district: "It is the only true swing district in Texas...This is a district that last year voted narrowly for Hillary Clinton, but it also voted to re-elect [U.S. Rep.] Will Hurd to Congress."^[8]

District 27

The race to replace U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold (R) initially looked like former Texas Water Development Board Chairman Bech Bruun's to lose as he had advantages in endorsements and fundraising ahead of the March 6 primary. However, Republican activist Michael Cloud outperformed him in the areas outside Corpus Christi and finished with about 34 percent of the vote to Bruun's 36 percent. After the March 6 primary, conservative influencers began lining up behind Cloud. The Club for Growth and the House Freedom Caucus both endorsed him and, together, spent about $750,000 supporting his candidacy prior to May 22. Bruun continued to lead Cloud in personal fundraising and picked up an endorsement from the Texas Association of Business.^[9]

Voters chose between a center-right candidate and further-right candidate. Bruun, the center-right candidate, said he would have supported a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill that passed in March 2018 because it contained relief funding for the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, which impacted the Corpus Christi area. Cloud said he would have opposed the bill and added, “I support Harvey relief, but we don’t need to mortgage our grandchildren’s future with a bill that no one’s read.” Bruun compared Cloud's statements to those of former District 27 Rep. Ron Paul (who endorsed Cloud), saying, “Effective leadership is about going to D.C. taking tough votes. On the issues important to my congressional district — infrastructure, military support, disaster recovery — Ron Paul was famously against all those things.”^[10]

Seven Republican runoffs for Texas state House seats helped settle a conflict between allies of outgoing House Speaker Joe Straus (R) and his opponents in the Texas Freedom Caucus and at the organization Empower Texans. Pro-Straus Republicans and anti-Straus disagreed over education, property taxes, and bathroom access policy in the 2017 special session of the Texas State Legislature. Straus used his power as speaker to block legislation that would have required municipalities to hold special elections when raising property taxes by more than four percent and a bill that would have required individuals to use that bathroom corresponding with the gender on their birth certificate. Gov. Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick, and members of his own caucus criticized Straus for these decisions. He announced he would not seek re-election in October 2017.

Twenty pro-Straus House incumbents faced primary challengers on March 6, and most of the challengers were aligned with anti-Straus forces. Another 15 seats were open due to retirements, creating battlegrounds between pro-Straus and anti-Straus candidates. While anti-Straus challengers defeated two pro-Straus incumbents (Wayne Faircloth and Jason Villalba), most pro-Straus incumbents won their primaries, including Sarah Davis, Charlie Geren, Dan Flynn, and Lyle Larson. Only one incumbent, state Rep. Scott Cosper, was forced into a runoff. Of the 15 open primaries, pro-Straus candidates, anti-Straus candidates, and candidates with unknown factional affiliations each won three. The other six went to runoffs, five of which feature pro-Straus vs. anti-Straus matchups.
