Key Races to Watch

There are several key races to watch in the 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas. One of the most closely watched races will be in the 22nd Congressional District, where incumbent Republican Troy Nehls is facing a challenge from Democrat Sri Preston Kulkarni.

Another key race will be in the 38th Congressional District, where incumbent Republican Wesley Hunt is facing a challenge from Democrat Lizzie Pannill Fletcher.

Impact of Redistricting

Texas gained two congressional seats in the 2020 census, increasing the number of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives from 36 to 38. The Texas Legislature passed a new redistricting plan in 2021, which has resulted in some changes to the boundaries of congressional districts.

The new redistricting plan has been challenged in court, and it is possible that the boundaries of some congressional districts could change again before the 2024 elections.
