The redrawn Texas 35th Congressional District, adjusted in 2025 to favor Republicans with a Trump-era voting baseline around +10, remains closely contested heading into the November 3 general election due to shifting Latino voter preferences and strong Democratic performance in Bexar County. Democrat Johnny Garcia, a Bexar County sheriff’s deputy who won his May runoff, has emphasized affordability and local law enforcement priorities, drawing support from outside groups like House Majority PAC amid reports of Democratic gains among Latino voters. Republican Carlos De La Cruz, an Air Force veteran endorsed by President Trump and brother of Rep. Monica De La Cruz, advanced from his own runoff and focuses on border security and conservative issues, backed by significant GOP super PAC spending. Recent polling showed a near tie, contributing to the current trader consensus pricing Garcia slightly ahead while reflecting uncertainty in the competitive race.
