Brandon Herrera leads as the Republican nominee in Texas’s 23rd Congressional District following his first-place finish in the March 2026 primary and the subsequent withdrawal of incumbent Tony Gonzales amid scandal, which canceled a planned runoff. The open seat sits in a Republican-leaning district with a Cook Partisan Voter Index of R+7 and a 15-point Trump margin in 2024. A July poll showed Herrera ahead by six points, while his campaign has raised substantially more than Democratic nominee Katy Padilla Stout, who won her primary outright. Forecasters rate the race Likely Republican, reflecting the district fundamentals and Herrera’s fundraising and endorsement advantages from party leaders. Trader pricing aligns with these structural factors ahead of the November general election.
