U.S. House, Texas District 32

2-year termOpen seat under the new map: incumbent Julie Johnson (D), elected in TX-32 under the 2021 map, ran in TX-33 instead and lost the Democratic runoff there. Republican Jace Yarbrough became nominee after runoff opponent Ryan Binkley withdrew. Ballotpedia lists independent Charles Harper, who is not on the Secretary of State listing. Not rated competitive by Cook (Oct. 16, 2026). District lines: PlanC2333 (H.B. 4, 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, signed Aug. 29, 2025). A three-judge federal panel enjoined it Nov. 18, 2025; the U.S. Supreme Court stayed that order Dec. 4, 2025 (Texas Legislative Council timeline) and on April 27, 2026 summarily reversed in Abbott v. LULAC, so PlanC2333 governs the 2026 election. Members elected under the 2021 map (PlanC2193) serve until January 2027.Partially researched. Last researched Oct 20, 2026Report a correction
