Houston, TX - The Democratic primary election in Texas' 18th congressional district is headed to a runoff, as two candidates compete for the party's nomination in this closely watched race. Representative Christian Menefee, a Democrat who has only held the seat for a month after winning a special election in January, is facing a tight challenge from a field of contenders.
The race to represent the 18th district, which covers a large swath of Houston and its surrounding suburbs, has garnered significant attention both locally and nationally. Menefee, a rising star in the Democratic party, is seeking to fend off a spirited challenge from a group of well-funded and experienced candidates.
