Texas Midterm 2026

TX State House • District 47

Why this race matters

Your State Representative is one of 150 people who write Texas law, and yours is elected to represent your part of the county. Every two years they decide how much money your kids' school gets, whether your property tax bill goes up or down, and whether Texas takes federal money for health care or turns it away. Big decisions, made by a small group — and one seat is yours to fill.
