About Texas' 9th Congressional District
Big picture view:
This race is closely watched because District 9 will have a new representative for the first time in two decades. Democrat Al Green, who has represented District 9 since 2005, ran for District 18 instead in this primary due to the recently redrawn congressional map.
Several Democrats ran for the position in the District 9 primary, including former NASA astronaut Terry Virts, Marty Rocha, Todd Ivey, Leticia Gutierrez, Earnest Clayton Jr. and Peter Filler.
Nine Republicans were on the ballot, including State Rep. Briscoe Cain and Alex Mealer — who previously ran for Harris County judge.
The district, which was recently redrawn in the recent mid-decade redistricting, covers much of east and southeast Harris County as well as all of Liberty County.
