March primary ensures record turnover for Texas congressional delegation
WASHINGTON — Last week’s primary election ushered in the defeat of two members from Texas’ congressional delegation, guaranteeing at least a dozen of the state’s 38 incumbents will depart the House next year — a major loss of seniority for a state known for its influence on Capitol Hill.
Four-term U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Atascocita, was unseated by Conroe state Rep. Steve Toth, while U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-San Antonio, heeded calls from House GOP leadership to drop out of his runoff after he admitted to having an affair with a staffer who died by suicide.
Additionally, Houston Democratic Reps. Al Green and Christian Menefee are going head to head in a May runoff that is guaranteed to send a third member home, on top of the nine incumbents who are retiring or giving up their seats to run for other offices.
The record turnover would be upped to 13 if Rep. Julie Johnson, D-Farmers Branch, loses her runoff to Colin Allred, her predecessor in Congress.
Texas sends 38 representatives to the House, more than any state except California. One of the state’s two Senate seats could also change hands if Attorney General Ken Paxton prevails in a runoff against Republican Sen. John Cornyn.
