Texas has the nation’s second-largest congressional delegation, though only a fraction of its primaries this year are competitive.
The Lone Star State does have a marquee Senate primary, as Democrats Colin Allred, a former NFL player and civil rights lawyer serving his third term in the House, and state Sen. Roland Gutierrez vie for the right to take on Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in November.
The state also has a competitive House seat in the 23rd District, where Rep. Tony Gonzales angered his fellow Republicans by supporting gun safety legislation in 2022 and his stance on border security, and now faces challengers from his party’s right flank.
