U.S. House, Texas District 19

2-year termOpen seat: incumbent Jodey Arrington (R, TX-19) did not seek reelection. 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.
