U.S. House, Texas District 7
2-year termIncumbent Lizzie Fletcher (D) is running in the same district number (TX-07 under the prior map). Hale won the May 26, 2026 Republican runoff. Green nominee Espoir Ngabo was nominated by convention. District lines: PlanC2333 (H.B. 4, 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, signed Aug. 29, 2025). A federal panel enjoined it Nov. 18, 2025; the U.S. Supreme Court stayed that order Dec. 4, 2025 and summarily reversed on April 27, 2026 (Abbott v. LULAC), so PlanC2333 governs the 2026 election. Other suits remain pending. No Libertarian or declared write-in candidate appears for this district on the Secretary of State listing.
