No declared write-in candidates were found for this district, but the official write-in certification list was not available, so this is not fully confirmed.

U.S. House, Texas District 15

2-year termIncumbent Monica De La Cruz (R) is running in the same district number (TX-15 under the prior map). Rated competitive: Ballotpedia reported Cook, Inside Elections and Sabato's Crystal Ball at Likely Republican after the primary; Cook's race page shows a rating update on Sept. 25, 2026 and describes polling as tied or favoring Pulido (the exact current Cook category could not be confirmed from the page text). Finance figures come from Texas Tribune reporting because FEC pages could not be loaded by the research tool; reporting period not stated. 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.Investigación parcial.
