U.S. House, Texas District 38

2-year termOpen seat: incumbent Wesley Hunt (R) ran for U.S. Senate and did not win the nomination. Republican Jon Bonck won the May 26, 2026 runoff over Shelly deZevallos. Green nominee Alex McMenemy is on the ballot. Independent filers Scott Cubbler and William Taggart were rejected (SOS independent filings page). 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.Investigación parcial. Última investigación 20 oct 2026Reportar una corrección
