Could Texas Flip in 2026? Key Primary Election Races to Watch

Early voting begins today in Texas for primary elections. Here in Houston, voters will help decide some of the most closely watched congressional primaries in the state. After the Texas Legislature redrew three Houston-area congressional districts last year, dismantling longtime Democratic strongholds, incumbents like Representatives Sylvia Garcia and Al Green face new political terrain and new challengers. Houston Public Media reporter Andrew Schneider has the details on some of races people are watching, including the U.S. Senate races between Democrats Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico and Republicans John Cornyn, Ken Paxton, and Wesley Hunt, and the Texas Attorney General races between Republicans Mayes Middleton, Chip Roy, Aaron Reitz, and Joan Huffman, and Democrats Tony Box, Joe Jaworski, and Nathan Johnson. Schneider also discusses control of Congress and voter turnout in Texas. Houston Matters is an essential daily guide to the people, places, issues, and ideas that define Greater Houston. Hosted by Craig Cohen. Houston Matters streams live on YouTube weekdays from 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. CT, and airs live on Houston Public Media’s News 88.7.
