U.S. Reps. Al Green and Christian Menefee are headed for a Democratic primary runoff in May, setting up a fourth election in about seven months for voters in Houston’s 18th Congressional District.
The primary was a rare incumbent-on-incumbent clash forced by legislative Republicans who redrew the Texas congressional map last summer to create five new seats that are more favorable to Republicans. Green was drawn out of his district, the 9th Congressional District, and into the new 18th District.
