The latest reporting indicates that Texas’ redrawn 35th Congressional District is headed to runoff elections after no candidate cleared the required threshold in the March primary.[1][3]
What runoffs are set up (TX-35)
Republican primary runoff
- John Lujan will face Carlos De La Cruz.[1]
Democratic primary runoff
- Johnny Garcia will face Maureen Galindo.[1]
Why this district is drawing attention
The Texas 35th was changed by mid-decade redistricting, making it more competitive than it previously was, and coverage frames the general race as one of the more closely watched House contests.[3][1]
If you tell me whether you mean the Republican runoff, Democratic runoff, or the general election runoff (and your preferred date window like “this week” vs “since May 1”), I can narrow the “latest news” to that specific race and timeframe.
