UPDATED: See the latest midterm 2022 returns for all Texas races here.

While there aren’t expected to be a lot of surprises in the Texas congressional delegation after Election Day, there will be at least two new seats decided Tuesday.

The races for Dist. 3 and Dist. 30 do not include incumbents and will have new winners. The rest of the U.S. House races, whose districts were redrawn during the last legislative session, are favored to be won by incumbents.

U.S. DIST. 3 RACE

NBC News has named Keith Self as the projected winner of the U.S. House Dist. 3 race.

In March, U.S. Rep. Van Taylor (R-Plano, Dist. 3) ended his reelection campaign after admitting to infidelity. Taylor had been forced into a runoff with Keith Self and once he withdrew Self became the Republican party’s nomination.

Self is facing Democrat Sandeep Srivastava and Libertarian Christopher Claytor in Tuesday’s election.

U.S. DIST. 30 RACE

NBC News is reporting Jasmine Crockett is the projected winner in the U.S. House Dist. 30 race.

Crockett was endorsed in March for the seat by its current occupant, retiring U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, a trailblazing Democrat in Texas who has served in Congress for nearly 30 years.

Johnson announced in November 2021 that she will not seek reelection in 2022.

The race to fill Johnson’s seat quickly became a hotly contested battle between nine Democrats and six Republicans. The primary and eventual runoffs trimmed the candidate pool down to four with the race now being between Democrat Jasmine Crockett, Republican James Rodgers, Libertarian Phil Gray and Independent Zachariah Manning.

U.S. DIST. 4 RACE

NBC News has named Pat Fallon as the projected winner of the U.S. House Dist. 4 race.

In the race for U.S. House Dist. 4, incumbent Republican Pat Fallon is seeking a second term against Democratic challenger Iro Omere and Libertarian John Simmons.

Fallon was elected to the House to replace John Ratcliff in August 2020. Prior to joining Congress, Fallon had been a member of the Texas House and Texas Senate.

U.S. DIST. 5 RACE

NBC News has named Lance Gooden as the projected winner of the U.S. House Dist. 5 race.

Incumbent Republican Lance Gooden, of Terrell, has served the 5th Congressional District of Texas since 2019 and is running against Democrat Tartisha Hill and Libertarian Kevin Hale.

Gooden has served previously in the Texas House. Hill was term-limited out of her position as a councilwoman in Balch Springs.

U.S. DIST. 13 RACE

NBC News has named Ronny Jackson as the projected winner of the U.S. House Dist. 13 race.

Republican incumbent Ronny Jackson, who served in the White House Medical Unit under George W. Bush and was the physician to presidents Obama and Trump, is seeking a second term in Congress.

Jackson is running against Democrat Kathleen Brown, a North Texas lawyer.

U.S. DIST. 24 RACE

NBC News has named Beth Van Duyne as the projected winner of the U.S. House Dist. 24 race.

Van Duyne, a former mayor of Irving and former HUD official who was elected to represent Texas’s 24th district in November 2020, is seeking her second term in Congress.

Van Duyne is facing Democrat Jan McDowell, a CPA with roots in North Texas

U.S. DIST. 26 RACE

NBC News has named Michael Burgess the projected winner of the U.S. House Dist. 26 race.

Longtime North Texas Republican Congressman Michael Burgess is seeking his 11th term in office representing Texas’ 26th Congressional District. Burgess, of Denton, was first elected in 2002.

Burgess is facing Libertarian challenger Mike Kolis on Election Day.

U.S. DIST. 32 RACE

NBC News is reporting Democrat Colin Allred is the projected winner in the Dist. 32 race.

Allred is campaigning for his third term in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Texas’ 32nd District.

Allred, a lawyer and former pro athlete, was first elected in 2018 when he upset longtime Rep. Pete Sessions.

Allred is facing Republican challenger Antonio Swad on Election Day.
