In Texas’ 35th Congressional District, Republican candidates Carlos De La Cruz and John Lujan will compete, while Democrats Maureen Galindo and Johnny Garcia will vie for their party’s nomination.
Additionally, Bexar County’s Democratic primary for district attorney has narrowed to two contenders: former appellate judge Luz Elena Chapa and Jane Davis, who serves as the chief of the juvenile section of the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office. The winner will face Republican Ashley Foster in November, as current District Attorney Joe Gonzales has opted not to seek re-election.
Voters will also have the opportunity to decide on several other key positions, including lieutenant governor, attorney general, state representative, state senator, county clerk, and district clerk, based on their party affiliation and residence.
