About Texas' 29th Congressional District

Big picture view:

This is a closely watched race because this district was affected by the recent redistricting that occurred in 2025. The newly drawn map is being used for the first time in this election.

The district covers much of north Houston and north Harris County.

Incumbent Sylvia Garcia, who has served in the position since 2019, faced two other challengers – Jarvis Johnson and Robert Slater – in the Democratic primary.
