The seat is open in 2026, giving both parties a chance to win the district's representation in the lower chamber of Congress. In 2024, Kamala Harris won Texas' 35th congressional district by 13.5%, and the election for the district's House seat is rated as lean Democratic in 2026. The race will test whether Democrats can flip a competitive Texas seat or whether Republicans can hold one of their key House battlegrounds.
