Christian Menefee secured the Democratic nomination for Texas’s 18th congressional district after defeating fellow incumbent Al Green by roughly 70 percent to 30 percent in the May 26 runoff. The matchup resulted from Republican-led redistricting that placed two sitting House members in the same Houston-area seat, following Menefee’s earlier special-election win to fill the vacancy left by Sylvester Turner’s death. Menefee led the March 3 primary and expanded his advantage in early voting, reflecting stronger voter consolidation in Harris County and surrounding areas. With the runoff results now called by major outlets, trader consensus at near-certainty reflects the completed primary process, though official certification or any successful legal challenge could still shift formal resolution.
